Country, the beautiful book by designer Jasper Conran is a celebration of rural life. He spent a year travelling around the English countryside where he documented traditions, nature, gardens and stories. In an interview Conran said:
The countryside belongs to all of us, or rather I should say, it belongs to none of us. It is merely entrusted to our keeping, to be tended, watered, nurtured and handed on to the following generations in good condition. We need to cherish it.
He also writes about how much he loves seasons. That in the country the seasons are felt in the unfolding of each day. Well, the summer right at this moment doesn't feel like summer at all so you would almost forget about that season-feeling. Rain, storm and the occasional clear moment. But this is part of summer as well, so he is right. We all have chilhood memories both of hot sunny days as well as days like these now. And nature is lush and green at the moment. And there are still lots of camomile flowers to pick and be stars on my table...
