Country Life June 10 2015
Country Life June 10 2015 delights in plasterwork, historic and modern and admires the kingfisher.


This week in Country Life we meet the enterprising food producers who are springing up all over the Cotswolds, we discover old-fashioned privvies are back in vogue, we visit Kiftsgate Court in Gloucestershire, as its connoisseur collection of roses reaches its zenith, we sniff out the best pet-friendly hotels in town and we learn to cook with crab.
