Lia's Living Almanac *

Lia Leendertz is the author of the bestselling annual Almanac and has spent years exploring the changing seasons.

The Living Almanac brings that work to life throughout the year: noticing the moon and stars, first flowers, changing light, ripening fruit, birdsong and all the small signs that mark the seasons.

Each week Lia shares what she is noticing, alongside full moon posts, night-sky notes and seasonal films marking key moments including the solstices, equinoxes, Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane and Lammas.

It is a place to slow down, pay attention and feel more connected to the passing year.

The weekly seasonal posts are free to read, with paid subscriptions supporting Lia’s wider writing, films and seasonal work.

The desk has a stack of books, a bouquet of pink flowers in a green vase, a glass of orange juice, and an apple. The room has wooden walls, two windows with curtains, a ceiling lamp, and a bed with white bedding. The floor is wooden with a beige and orange patterned rug.
