The way we were Photographs from the COUNTRY LIFE archive

My favourite painting Hugo Barclay • La Vie by Pablo Picasso

The last peak conquered • A windy climb up Moel Eilio in Snowdonia ticks an outstanding North Wales box

Nine centuries of service • St Bartholomew’s Hospital, Smithfield, London EC1, part II The property of Barts Health NHS Trust This year, two connected institutions in the heart of London celebrate their 900th anniversary. In the second of two articles, John Goodall looks at their foundation story

Native breeds New Forest

Is this the best year ever for berries? • The sunny, yet wet summer might have been a dampener at the time, but the resulting autumnal berry haul is a feast for mice and men, says John Lewis-Stempel

Conkering heroes • Few games rival conkers for sheer excitement. Simon Lester ponders the merits of round-topped nuts versus flat-sided cheesers and exposes the nefarious tricks some use to win at all costs

Last call for the corncrake • Surprisingly small and intensely secretive, the increasingly rare corncrake is in serious danger of disappearing from our shores altogether. But not, discovers Vicky Liddell, if a new conservation plan has anything to do with it

Doing it by the book • Our desire to buy online may have blighted many high streets, but, happily, plenty of independent bookshops are still thriving against the odds. Catriona Gray picks seven of her favourite stores off the shelf

A light touch • Nels Crosthwaite Eyre’s Hampshire house demonstrates her innate ability to create smart, but relaxed interiors that reflect the tastes and needs of a new generation, finds Eleanor Doughty

Blasts from the past • Giles Kime presents 10 key ingredients in 1980s interior design that are back in fashion

New looks for a new season • The latest furnishings and finds, selected by Amelia Thorpe

Street life • This autumn, a host of new shops has opened its doors on London’s Pimlico Road, heralding a fresh chapter in the history of this inspiring district, finds Amelia Thorpe

The secret of the super cottage • There’s no reason why a small house shouldn’t feel like a big one, says Bee Osborn

The sustainable country house • COUNTRY LIFE recently hosted a panel discussion at which leading experts in architecture, interior design, landscape design and property shared their depth and breadth of knowledge

Revolution or evolution? • The renewed popularity of cottages is spawning dramatically different approaches

Tales of the unexpected • A thriving farm and the site of a Victorian double murder lead the market this week

Conference calls among the cattle • The commute and the office has changed forever. Deborah Nicholls-Lee...
