这本小书对最具英国特色的消遣之——慢条斯理进行了讨论和介绍。作者安娜•麦格写出了以漫步的方式活在当下的乐趣和实用性，不对自己要求太多，却依然能用最温柔的方式把事情做完。

This little book is both a discussion and practical guide to one of the most British of pastimes - pottering. Author Anna McGovern writes with charm about the joy and practicality of living in the meandering moment, not asking too much of yourself and yet still getting things done in the gentlest of ways.

This is the book for people who want to discover productivity at an easier pace, and above all the contentment you achieve when accepting that you can only do what you can do. Pottering is a true ode to slow living and an antidote to the stresses of modern life.
