Our Island Home.
I know we all come from different parts of this island and some from further afield.What I like best are the differences between the various parts and the huge differences in dialects and attitudes to life.
At the moment I am looking out of my window at the bare trees, over to the fields and the church spire in the distance.
There are some beautiful parts of our island and some not so beautiful. I feel very lucky to be a native of these fair lands.

and I am lucky enough to live in an area classed as 'An area of outstanding natural beauty '. This has its drawbacks with no public transport and acres of mud in the winter but it is worth it . I have lived in many areas of the country from Lancashire to Dorset and love the variety of landscapes and dialect

I may be wrong but, my recollection of one of your posts said you hate the UK or at least dislike it immensely.

What a lovely thread mesco! All too often we see people saying Britain is no longer great, but that is usually caused by people in power making wrong decisions. This island is still so beautiful that I always feel I am home when I look out of the aeroplane window and see our lovely green fields.
