LIZ JONES: I'm feeling so nostalgic, I unblock David
I'm officially in recovery after an horrendous year. I'm seeing my new therapist once a week. I've booked a course of yoga classes at Middleton Lodge, my local country-house hotel. Nic wonders why I don't do yoga at the village hall, but I tell her I need bucolic surroundings: 'Do you want me more depressed?' Middleton Lodge yoga, every Friday at 6.30am, takes place in the walled kitchen garden. I can't stand yoga, but I don't want to lose strength or flexibility as I get older. To improve my self-esteem, I've ordered socks, a grey V-neck sweater and a sleeveless sweatshirt in the sale at Navygrey.

A Family Spent $500,000 on Built-In Cabinets for Those Costco Runs
When Gilded Age architect Addison Hutton designed a grand, circa-1870s mansion for the family of a prominent attorney in a bucolic town near Philadelphia, nobody was worried about where to put the extra rolls of paper towels. Such things weren't invented yet. Neither were those wholesale-club stores that sell bulk-packaged pallets of everything from canned tuna to Ziploc bags to meet the needs of families with, say, three young boys and a golden retriever.

A Decade of Bruising Labor. A 6-Mile Work of Land Art.
Andy Goldsworthy, a British land artist best known for bright, fleeting sculptures made out of leaves, has spent much of the past decade toiling in an isolated valley in England in conditions few would see as bucolic. At one point, Goldsworthy, 68, collected spools of barbed wire, rusting some in water and burning others in fires. Then he stretched the metal out, strand by vicious strand, so that he could use it to line the inside of a cottage. As he strung the wire taut, Goldsworthy recalled in a recent interview, he had to wear Kevlar wrist guards to make sure he didn't cut himself. During an 'absolutely freezing' winter, Goldsworthy also carved an oval chamber into the stone of another building — 'totally grim' work, he said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
