So lush are the surroundings at the estate where Lucie-Clare Watson resides that the loveliness of the outdoors seems to have grown beyond its borders, spilling into the eighteenth-century abode at the heart of the property.

Above: Brimful beds and creeping vines add storybook allure to the weathered stone exterior, and tangles of peonies, foxgloves, and other cottage blooms lend a bounty of inspiration to the interiors.



Ahhhh… nothing like a simple and proper English country cottage to make my heart race !!
Of all the rooms pictured, my favourite is indeed the kitchen – with the Aga playing it’s important role as the center of all life’s activities! With the welcoming and comfortable chair by its side, the quaint kitchen exudes warmth and hospitality!
I could move in today…..
God bless !

Hi Lois, unfortunately we do not have copies of the 1999 issues for sale. Many readers sell their back issues on the web at Amazon, eBay, etc. Best.
