Absolutely delightful! Thank you for sharing your work with us. My Mother is 92 this month. Bird and deer watching is what she likes to do. Alex introduced me to nature journaling. We live in Texas. I love the idea of recording in a scrapbook.

[@AlexBoonArt]

Thank you so much for watching, I love to hear that your mother is also still passionate about nature in her 90s 😊

Wonderful to see Mary recalling her adventures in the wilder parts of Devon! A totally inspirational woman and very pleased to join her for some of the remote and beautiful places in North Devon. Happy memories of 4 years ago!!

Ahh you must be the Sarah she mentioned, really glad you enjoyed the video 😊 Must have been great sharing Mary's wild travels 😀

[@PeachesandMoss]

Lovely interview. I love hearing the perspective of the older generation.

[@AlexBoonArt]

Absolutely, Mary had such a great story to tell and I loved to see her journal 😍 Thanks for your comment 😊

[@ruthiepurnell7507]

A great example of you don’t need to be an amazing artist to create a nature journal. Absolutely love what she’s done, thanks for sharing this interview with us.

[@AlexBoonArt]

I totally agree! You're welcome 😊

What a spirited lady! She’s got more oomph than many half her age, and I’m so proud of her. Thanks for sharing this with us. I find myself, at halfway through life, thinking there is so much I miss from my childhood-and I see how much we did take for granted, thinking it was just always gonna be “like this.” There are many of us now trying to do our part in spreading the gospel, not only reminding folks to NOT take what we do have for granted, but also trying to bring back some of the things we tossed aside and getting rid of some of the things we accepted and embraced that just need to go.

Great thoughts, thank you 😊

This is wonderful! What an inspiration she is to me and to all of us who love nature. I really like her collage/scrapbook style of nature journaling, and the lettering she did with the yellow flowers is very pretty! Thank you so much for sharing. 💙🌍💚

[@AlexBoonArt]

You are so welcome!

[@sweetlifeofjosh]

This is something I can do!!! I’m not artistic as far as drawing. It’s something I work on but photography is definitely my strong point. I love how she put this together and utilized other artwork to put the journals together. Such wonderful ideas. Thanks for making this video. I feel like I have the liberty to start on mine now!

[@AlexBoonArt]

I am so glad that Mary's journal inspired you - go and create however suits you best 😁😊

Absolutely wonderful interview with an inspiring, charming lady. What a great way to keep a journal and affect the world positively!!! PS loved your Wild wonder presentation last week.

[@AlexBoonArt]

Glad you enjoyed it! Perfect way to describe Mary 😊

[@kazfarndon4990]

Such an interesting lady so in touch with nature. Emsworthy Mire is worth visiting mid May if you get the chance and yes I've heard the cuckoo's there

[@AlexBoonArt]

I am definitely planning to go next Spring, Mary has inspired me!

[@Yaya7773]

[@sarahlucas1999]

Such a wonderful interview Alex. Mary is so inspiring and her nature diaries are fantastic. Do you know if they are going to be published into a book at some stage? Thank you so much for sharing Mary's story with us :)

[@AlexBoonArt]

Thanks, Sarah! I don't know, I don't think so as far as I'm aware, as lots of the content is personal in nature - family photos etc. And other parts are from magazines, but I would love to sit and read all the words she has written - there is a lot there 😊

[@sarahlucas1999]

@@AlexBoonArt I'd love to read them too 😊
