Founder of Roots of England | Writer | Nature-Lover | Seeker of Meaning and Connection
I’m Dave — a writer and lifelong lover of England’s landscapes, villages, heritage, and quiet charms. After a deeply difficult chapter in my life, I’ve returned my focus to what has always been important — celebrating all that is beguiling and inspiring about the rural English way of life.
Roots of England is my way of offering a solution to our shared challenges, rather than contribute to perpetuating the problem. This is a community for thoughtful, grounded people who want something wholesome, hopeful, and real. Here we celebrate nature, beauty, history, belonging, and authentic human connection.
This is not a space for obsession, outrage, or escapism — instead, it is a place for:
✨authenticity
✨conversation
✨community
✨shared values
✨appreciation of our land, culture, and traditions
If you love the beauty of England, want to reconnect with others who feel the same, and are looking for hope, this is home.
