‘Oh! I think Eddie has been throwing water balloons at my pictures.’ Kitty Galsworthy, inspecting a small sketch hanging above her kitchen sink, laughs. She seems utterly relaxed about the target of her youngest one’s ballistics. Happily, he’s missed the Mary Fedden by the Aga. In fact, Kitty seems relaxed about pretty much everything, a trait that has no doubt stood her in strong stead during the past year.

It was the ultimate gift: A few weeks before I got married in 2005, Miranda Brooks offered to design my garden as a wedding present. Miranda needs little introduction: She is one of the world’s leading landscape designers and, luckily for me, she was my colleague at Vogue, where we collaborated on many stories for the magazine and had become great friends.

AD100 designer Victoria Hagan and her husband, businessman Michael Berman, were looking for an airy beach house when Hagan fell for a 1920s Tudor whose hectic layout lacked finesse.
