The May 26 issue of LandScape is out now...

Beautiful, bountiful May, with its last burst of blossom, fills the air with fragrance and the landscape with joy as the season reaches its flamboyant finale. Gentle days and soft colour encourage exploration of the countryside and enjoying time outdoors, while fresh touches lift dishes from the kitchen and enhance craft projects.

Gorgeous gardening

Follow meandering paths through Church Cottage garden in rural Herefordshire to discover veiled views and hidden surprises in a visual feast of flowers and foliage. Enjoy the fleeting reign of peonies, layered in satiny petals, as they bring their sumptuous blooms to borders, and choose verdant green and bright white pairings for ebullient arrangements.

Inspirational cookery

Serve bold mackerel dishes, full of goodness, and try a twist on a classic by transforming the Victoria sponge with subtle new flavour combinations. And bake crunchy, golden pick-me-ups in the form of fun flower biscuit lollies.

Britain's rich heritage

Walk past ancient stones in Worcestershire’s Clent Hills above a vale carpeted with the vivid blue of nodding bells, and visit the colourful sunny Scottish harbour town of Dunbar whose famous son was a leading naturalist. Learn more, too, of life in the wild as the instinctive devotion of animal parents is revealed.

Exquisite craft

Step into a world on the edge with Suffolk paper artist Betty Pepper, who fashions printed pages into tiny houses teetering on cliffs carved from old books. Use old picture frames to bring the calm of the forest into the home with leafy artwork, and swap pencil for thread to outline delicate shapes on fabric in free-flowing embroidery.

Here is a selection of makes and bakes from our talented readers, as featured in the May issue of LandScape magazine...

“My recent wool painting. This was done freehand, with sheep’s wool and a felting needle, worked onto vintage wool blanket.” 
Zoe Robson.

“The Dundee cake from the bonus December mag. I didn’t have all the ingredients, so used lemon and brandy, with lime marmalade.”
Amanda Stoneman.

“At an artisan market, local artist Libby Bove had beautiful tea towels. I unpicked the hemmed edges; washed to pre-shrink; and cut them square. They were too pretty for dishes.”
Dawn Stevens.

“Watercolour illustration.” 
Kay Dawson.

“I couldn’t resist making these after picking up some fresh yeast. They are a little brown for my liking, but it’s just the glaze. They taste delicious with homemade butter.” 
Lucy Pendrick.

“I’ve just received my March issue and had to have a go at this little woolly sheep.” 
Monica Shaw.
