What's On 14 July
Dear Reader,
What would it feel like to live a life of additionality rather than subtraction? That is the question that ripples through the latest issue of Country & Town House, which – in a first – invited a guest editor to help curate an edition dedicated to our connection with nature. Arizona Muse is the poster girl for earth activism and says, ‘There’s a shift happening when we think of “luxury”. More and more, there’s a desire for a lifestyle that respects the delicate balance of our planet. A regenerative, connected and fulfilling existence – one that honours the Earth as our home.’ I’ve picked out our top features below to whet your appetite.
Have a great week.

Sexy Soil
There’s no question about it, soil is now super sexy. As the foundation of everything we grow, we need it though to be thriving with life – rich and fertile. With films, books, social media and celebrities shouting about it, can a fledgling campaign persuade us to all get our hands more dirty?
Your Daily Brew
Could you give up your morning coffee? One day you might have to unless the industry gets future-proofed. Yes, the climate crisis is coming for your cup. But work is going on to see how we can grow more resilient beans, plus innovators are developing some pretty convincing alternatives.
