In 2020, the editors decided to compile a short series of iconic images to mark Country Living magazine's 35th birthday and the result is this beautiful book celebrating a magazine that has always championed all things country and the ever-changing seasons across the whole of the British Isle. Here you will find candid portraits of farmers, fishermen, craftspeople and artisans going about their daily work, majestic land and seascapes and nature in all its glory from newborn lambs in the field to rescued ponies grazing in an idyllic woodland. March begins tentatively with wild primroses and bluebells peeping through the woodland floor tempting hungry bees from their hibernation. Honeysuckle and dogroses overrun hedgerows in summer. Starlings dive and twist over nesting sights in autumn and evergreens reign supreme during the winter months, strong branches ready for the first falls of snow. Here are beautiful speckled eggs in close up, cherry blossom overhanging clean laundry, puffins, horned sheep jumping across the river, big white feathered honking geese during egg season, Dunnottar Castle, a medieval fortress on a rocky headland, a collector of rare daffodils and narcissus, a quail in a farmer's hand, an artist with her canvas, Durdle Door, a globe being handcrafted, oyster mushrooms grown on recycled coffee grounds in Sussex, a sow in the snow and a farmer and his sheepdog Meg harvesting festive mistletoe among the stunning full page stunning colour photographs included in this collection from the brilliant visual story tellers of the magazine. With extended captions and quotes in large print, a beautifully designed large hardback, 237pp.
