Most popular quote from A Meaningful Life
"Life is the most beautiful and rewarding gift. We just need to take time out to allow us to reflect, change our perspective, and see things in their best light. Sometimes we just have to stop and feel the pulse of the Earth, the rhythm of the seasons and the internal voice that was once our childhood friend. As the natural world grows smaller, so too does its intensity and the size of the window through which it may be viewed."
Reader testimonials
“It’s Jack Hargreaves. It’s Countryfile. It’s quality Sunday newspaper stuff. It’s 1948, all over again.”
“I loved reading this Journal. It’s inspiring. Keep going young man – the Journal has the beginnings of something very special.”
“Fennel's Journal is a masterpiece about rural living and the life we all seek.”
“Fennel’s chosen trajectory is firmly in the slow lane. He’s a countryman, with courage to stand behind his traditional values.”
“It is so refreshing to read something a little different, something I can identify with rather than the usual modern-day nonsense. Like Fennel I appreciate a quiet rural life: gardening, the countryside, the finer things and traditional angling. To find an author who writes about all of these is a real revelation!”

Whilst the service doesn't compete with faster delivery times provided by bigger companies, it does mean you get a fully personalised service and Fennel gets a loaf of bread and a sneaky sausage roll from the bakers on his way home.
