Country Life July 8 2015
Country Life July 1 2015 previews the Ashes 2015 and studies the wildlife under the waves.


This week in Country Life we discover the lavish 19th century restoration of Bamburgh Castle, we study the wildlife that lies beneath the waves, we explain why, as a nation, we are so shaped by our curvaceous coastline, we speak to Carlos Acosta about the challenges of life after classical ballet and we learn to cook deliciously cool and silky Vichyssoise soup.
