Town & Country Notebook

Letters to the Editor

Can the tide be turned?

A stark reminder of a city in peril

The way we were Photographs from the COUNTRY LIFE archive

My favourite painting Kate Mavor

Of Constable and clouds • A walk in the painter’s Suffolk stronghold triggers new appreciation of his depiction of big skies

The Shell Country Alphabet

Ancestral Modernism • Leuchie Walled Garden, East Lothian A home of Sir Hew and Lady DalrympleA Modernist home created during the 1960s within the walled garden of a historic house stylishly blends the contemporary and the historical. Mary Miers reports

Native breeds Herdwick sheep

The roads most travelled • In driving cattle, sheep and geese to market over the centuries, drovers shaped many of the routes we still use today. Gavin Plumley charts their harsh journeys across the country

The remains of the day • Described by John Clare as ‘Eden in such an hour’ and ‘the weakening eye of day’ by Thomas Hardy, the twilight hour is a bewitching time for John Lewis-Stempel

The fork in the road • Once viewed with suspicion, forks remained the preserve of royalty until nearly 200 years ago. Matthew Dennison takes a stab at the king of cutlery, which changed the way we eat

Happy to be in the soup • Whether it’s a laborious bouillabaisse, a sophisticated French consommé or a citrusy avgolemono, no dish is as comforting or democratic as soup, says Tom Parker Bowles

A roaring trade • It’s not only the energy crisis that is creating unprecedented demand for stoves: clean-burn technology, app-based controls and new designs fuelled by alternatives to wood are also transforming possibilities

Cookers of many colours • Range cookers are now available in every hue, says Amelia Thorpe

Land ahoy • The market for Scottish estates is changing, as the demand for ‘natural capital’ soars

Empty promise • Lucy Denton asks why we have so many uninhabited dwellings and what we can do to save them

Sweeping statements • The garden at Benington Lordship, Hertfordshire The home of Mr and Mrs Richard BottSnowdrops have grown here for centuries, but recent plantings have greatly increased their variety and spread, says Kathryn Bradley-Hole

Eat your new greens • Whether you are looking for new flavours to tickle your tastebuds or something different to grow in your garden, little beats obscure- and sometimes strange-looking–vegetables, says Mark Diacono

Freezing points

That’s got my bird name written all over it • Many, such as cuckoo and rook, might be onomatopoeic and others, including lapwing, owe their moniker to the nature of their flight, explains Derek Turner, as he takes a bird’s eye view of avian nomenclature

Why we should follow the herd

Rediscovery points to an Italian master • A well-travelled Bronzino, perhaps a self-portrait, is set to make waves in New York
