ROBINS IN MY KITCHEN. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.ROBINS IN MY KITCHEN

It all began one late spring morning when a robin unexpectedly fluttered into Bryony’s bedroom. Unfazed, it perched on her dressing table briefly before flitting from room to room, eventually leaving through the kitchen window.

With each passing day, the visits of the robin grew more frequent, its boldness evident as it fearlessly explored its surroundings. Soon, it began bringing moss and leaves to the kitchen window. With each further visit, more nesting materials would appear on the work surfaces or dropped onto the kitchen tiles. Then, one morning, Bryony heard scuffling and rustling noises as the robin began building a nest in the kitchen on the shelf of a pine dresser.

Bryony found herself drawn into the remarkable journey of the robin. She witnessed the little bird’s unwavering dedication, and a few weeks later, four delicate eggs appeared. What followed was one of the most extraordinary experiences of Bryony’s life; as she observed the hatchlings grow under the vigilant care of their parents until one day, under the watchful eye of the father, Bryony released the fledglings into her garden.

Bryony Hill was married to football legend Jimmy Hill, who sadly passed away in December 2015 after suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Before they met in 1976, Bryony lived in France and when they moved to Sussex in the 80’s, she was able to pursue her love for gardening, cooking and painting. She has had six books published to date one of which, A Compost Kind of Girl (Book Guild 2007) is filled with her watercolours. Bryony also published and illustrated The Computer Lab, a children’s story about their beloved Labrador George.
