My haven, Emma Bridgewater, 58, in the kitchen of her home on the Norfolk coast


1. Industrious family    
My great-grandparents owned coal mines in Ashington, Northumberland. I love this painting that my great-grandmother bought by one of the Ashington Group, known as the Pitmen Painters. They were mine workers with no formal art training who painted everyday life as they saw it around them. My father’s side owned a boiler-making factory in Wakefield. Maybe starting a pottery works was in my genes. 
2. Sister act  
My mother Charlotte (left) and her younger sister Theresa adored each other’s company. They were generous, hospitable and great entertainers
It fills me with happiness thinking of my mother Charlotte and her younger sister Theresa shrieking with laughter. That’s Mum on the left in the photo. Two wonderful women who adored each other’s company, they were generous, hospitable and great entertainers. Mum was severely brain-damaged after falling from her horse in 1991, when she was 52; she never recovered but lived on f ....

The classic travel guidebooks that inspire my trips


Highways and Byways in Wiltshire by Edward Hutton

Years ago I came across a faded little volume in a secondhand bookshop near Salisbury: Highways and Byways in Wiltshire by Edward Hutton, published during the first world war. Inside its pages a world opened before me: little lanes, silent villages, rivers that meandered through unspoilt landscapes of willow and elm.
The books weren’t practical, but their idiosyncrasies were liberating
Hutton was also gloriously opinionated. An upper middle-class Edwardian gentleman, his writing was often snobbish. He praised Salisbury fulsomely, but disliked its ruined predecessor, Old Sarum, dismissing it as “all these dead stones”. He thought Stonehenge “sterile” and called Wilton’s breathtaking Italianate church “a horrible building”. Entire valleys displeased him. ....

Five of England's less-visited counties for days out and short breaks

Tyne and Wear
For millions of readers around the world, the image of the country between the mouths of the rivers Tyne and Wear was woven by Catherine Cookson, the region’s most prolific and popular author. Cookson’s was a landscape of collieries, shipyards, rumbling coal trains, sooty-faced kids and the instantly nostalgic tones of pithead silver bands playing Haydn. While fragments of her world remain – mainly in the doughty cheerfulness of the locals – over the past four decades, as heavy industry has receded, a more distant past has emerged.
Twelve centuries before Dame Catherine began her career, the north-east’s first great literary figure, the Venerable Bede, was busy writing the histories that would help forge an English identity. Saint Bede (whose story is brought to life at the excellent Jarrow Hall Anglo-Saxon Village) divided his time between the twin monasteries of Saint Paul’s in Jarrow and Saint Peter ....

Dromin's place in region's great history


It s a truly spiritual place with a history to match its beauty and grace. The area around Dromin church is majestic, backing onto an ancient mound or moat and views of the entire country to enjoy.
A quick chat with Fr Michael Murtagh filled me in a lot more on the place and a church, built in 1826 in just six weeks and allegedly between two showers of rain!
The present altar was put in in 1876 and it was rededicated in 1877 with celebrant, a Dromin man, Fr Thomas Taaffe.
It was designed by architect John Murray who was born in 1807, believed to be at Lawlesstown, Dunleer. It was called St Joseph s then, but reverted to St Finian. ....
