Description
'A blueprint for a joyous life lived simply with nature.' Patrick Grant
'Harriet's book feels like stepping into a slower softer world. From the very first pages I was wrapped in its gentle celebration of pared-back country style with each chapter unfolding like a walk down a winding country path. It's an invitation to slow down, notice the seasons and create beauty in everyday life. Calming, inspiring and utterly beautiful, with ideas, projects and recipes galore. It's a treasure I shall return to whenever I need a breath of fresh country air.' Paula Sutton, Hill House Vintage
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.
