Book Description
"In this selection of notes which made up the pre-war and wartime Country life column in The Spectator, H. E. Bates explores, in characteristically unsentimental manner, country life at a time when the great momentum of scientific and technological advances brought about increased knowledge and interest in a safer, more accesible countryside, and when agriculture was seen by him to be an arm of defense during the Second World War. This selection gives us a vivid account of the preoccupations of an English country man at a time of great national upheavel." --Taken from front jacket cover.
Paul O'Grady's Country Life

Pages : 288
Book Description
A fascinating glimpse into life at home in the country with Paul and his animals. Paul O'Grady's Country Life takes us into the home of one of Britain's best loved stars. Paul's life in rural Kent -- which he shares with his dogs, sheep, cows, chickens and owls -- is as far removed from the bright lights of celebrity as you could possibly imagine. Yet this is where he is happiest and most relaxed. In tune with the rhythms of the country year -- from lambing in the spring and the village fete in the summer to the Halloween parties of autumn and the crackling fireside festivity of winter -- Paul's life at home comprises all the joys of rural existence. Whether he's baking a Simnel Cake for Easter or making a special meal when his grandkids come to stay, cooking up his herbal remedies like Four Thieves Vinegar to ward off winter colds or making his own Christmas decorations to decorate his lovely house for the festive season, Paul is never happier than when he spends time at home with his animals. Beautifully designed and illustrated with specially commissioned photography throughout, this book offers a very personal insight into the life of a national treasure.
A Country Life
Author: Roy StrongPublisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 142998130X
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Sir Roy Strong and his wife, the designer Julia Trevelyan Oman, have lived in the country for nearly thirty years. In 1987 he was asked to write an occasional column reflecting this quintessentially English way of life for the prestigious magazine A Country Life. This charming book brings these popular pieces together, portraying the passing of the seasons in what the author describes as his 'beloved adopted county' of Herefordshire. A Country Life is a wide-ranging kaleidoscope of memories and observations, embracing the countryside, gardens, cooking, and remembrances of things both long gone and only yesterday. The author writes lyrically of the arrival of the bright green tarragon shoots in spring; of the delights of eating al fresco; of making sorbets from blackberry and quince; of the russet beech hedges in winter and the sweet nostalgia that comes from unpacking Christmas decorations. The keynote of A Country Life is delight--a portrait of life in the English countryside, which seems as old as time itself.
