Jane, John, and their young family left London and moved to a late Georgian villa in a small village in East Anglia twenty years ago. The children are all grown up, but everyone comes home for Christmas, when the pantry shelves are filled with baskets of vegetables, boxes of clementines, Christmas cake and mince pies and a brace of pheasants is hung on the back door. The classic, uncluttered rooms of the house are always decorated with greenery from the garden - branches of bay leaves and eucalyptus line mantelpieces and fill jugs and sprigs of holly decorate picture frames.
