The pandemic changed all our lives.

What if you don’t want to go back to the hectic life you lived before?

Looking at the next few months as the creation of a garden during an amble through the seasons, psychologist Ouissi Gresty explains how to sort through your life, nurturing what you want to keep, clearing away what you don’t and creating a space to grow new hope and a new, simpler, slower way of life

…as well as practical ways of moving forwards to the future you want.

"I wrote Sun Shining on Rain for all the people who sobbed their fears out to me over the last 18 months, desperately needing hugs and not wanting to be locked down, yet not wanting to go back to their lives before covid either. I hope it helps." - Ouissi Gresty

About the Author

Ouissi Gresty is a psychologist and simple living expert who has a master’s degree in psychology and has spent many years teaching, speaking and writing about finding hope in crisis as well as simple, slow, less waste living.

She spent the last year and a half helping to set up a local pandemic support network, running social media support groups and listening to hundreds of people as they struggled. This, along with her own experience of building a new life, has given her a unique insight into the impact of the lockdowns, and the pandemic as a whole, on our mental health as well as our lives, hopes and dreams.

Ouissi lives a slow simple life in a small town in Cheshire with her two fluffy cats and her fabulous teenage son and is currently trying to get over her nervousness about the very thing she spent the pandemic craving…hugs. She loves growing seedlings to give away at her gate, cooking (and eating) Mediterranean food, growing food and vases full of flowers, walking by the sea or in the dappled shade under trees, visiting bookshops and reading every book she sees, trying to sweet-talk her son into loving history as much as she does by sharing the interesting bits, scribbling notes on scraps of paper or the back of seed packets whilst surrounded by chatter and laughter in a coffee shop or bar and searching for ridiculously flowery seventies clothing.

Join Ouissi for a cup of tea, a chat and a walk through the seasons as she explains the importance of sifting through our pre-covid lives, keeping what we love and want to grow and clearing out the plants and weeds we don’t, leaving space to grow new flowers, new hopes and a new way of life…as well as practical ways of moving forwards to the future we want.

This is her second book.
