Country lifestyle inspiration

I've been a subscriber to Country Style magazine for quite some years. It was what I dreamed over when we still lived in Sydney and I was desperate to get out. Finally we moved to our own piece of paradise in Tasmania, and I kept reading. I love the stories about rural people and the beautiful pictures of their homes and farms. But the magazine holders containing more than eight years' issues I'd kept were starting to take up room that I could use for something else. So over Christmas, I read through all of them and cut out a few recipes to try and a few home design ideas, bundled them all up and gave them away. A week or so later, the new issue arrived and the collection begins again.
