Country Life April 22 2015

published 22 April 2015

This week in Country Life we have dinner with Charles Spence, a psychologist set on revolutionising our meals, we report on the return of the old-fashioned maternity nurse, we pick this season’s prettiest floral fashions, we put the British flea under the microscope, we reveal collective nouns for marvellous mammals and we learn to cook with broccoli.
