''Country Life'' was launched in 1897 , incorporating ''Racing Illustrated''. At this time it was owned by Edward Hudson, the owner of Lindisfarne Castle and various Lutyens designed houses. At that time golf and racing served as its main content, as well as the property coverage that has become its mainstay. Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon , the late Queen Mother, used to appear frequently on its front cover. The frontispiece is very well known and is called popularly "Girls in Pearls", showing upper-class British rural life in its most ideal light. The magazine is based in London in Stamford Street, and owned by Media Company IPC Media , a Time Warner subsidiary. The pursuits and interests covered include hunting, shooting, farming, equestrian news and gardening. An important feature of the magazine is the Country Diary, which describes conditions and is generally an opinion piece about current issues and personal thoughts. There are reviews about books, food and wine, art and architecture (also many offers) and antiques and crafts. Illustrative material includes the ''Tottering-by-Gently'' cartoon by Annie Tempest. The property section claims to have more prime agents than anywhere else. This is generally run by a partner. The current Editor in Chief is Mark Hedges, and Clive Aslet is the Editor at Large. The website, Country Life Online has been around since January 1999. AUSTRALIAN MAGAZINE In Australia a magazine called ''Country Life'', appears every September in the course of the Royal Melbourne Show . EXTERNAL LINKS
