A Country Style : creating a well-lived home through the seasons

From creating a small cut-flower patch, to creating a festive decorative wreath, Harriet Thistlethwayte's A Country Style is an unhurried guide to making the most of the seasons, indoor and out. In SPRING create a small cut-flower patch, display bulbs indoors or make a rhubarb cake.

SUMMER offers simple instructions on how to make a hand-tied bouquet for a friend or inspiration for setting a seasonal dining table.

In AUTUMN Harriet shares simple upholstery projects, urges you to grow dahlias and offers her spiced focaccia recipe, while WINTER brings ideas for creating structure in the garden at the quietest time of year and explains how to make a deliciously zesty marmalade cake.
