Drama On One presents John Boorman's 'Nature Diary’, performed by the author, which John subtitles  "one eye and one finger’ – reflecting his current occular and digital status! 

Writing in his eighty-eighth year, (Ireland’s favourite Englishman) narrates his time in lockdown at home in County Wicklow.  Cocooned in Annamoe with his son Lee, his daughter Lily Mae and his friend Gerry Traynor (who works with him),  John chronicles (literally with one eye and one finger) his daily walks in a world fallen silent, as we all gradually emerge from Covid hibernation.  

Abridged for radio by Aidan Mathews and performed by the author.  

Special thanks to Gerry Traynor and Lee Boorman. 

John Boorman’s Nature Diary – One Eye, One Finger is published by The Lilliput Press. 

Music was by Aoife NicCormaic from her album Cuas na Bhfáinleog / The Hollow of The Swallows . 

The programme was recorded and produced by Kevin Reynolds.
