I agree.
We spent three weeks driving around England, Scotland, and Wales. Thinking of the beauty of Scotland and Wales still moves me. My son has heard such stories that he's asked us to go back for a visit, and my husband has recovered enough from the trauma of driving on the other side of the road that he's agreed. But this time north from London first, and the narrower roads of the south after he's gotten used to it.
We visited a friend in the canal area, and were walking around her farm as one of the boats was passing by.
I loved Wales, and Scotland, and Cornwall. I can't stop thinking of scones. And Bakewell pudding.
I can't wait to visit again.
America is breathtaking in areas. But the combination of nature and the long history of man in Britain combines to create a sort of beauty that stirs the soul.
Is it true they've reforested Scotland though? Have they done Wales as well? That road up from Beddgelert to Caernarfon? I know it might be good for the environment, but oh, I hope they haven't.

The one Country in Europe I didn't visit. but Europe is gorgeous my favorites Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Holland was wet and cold, Germany looked like America to me. Denmark Quant also. But so clean and older adults riding bikes everwhere and sweeping the sidewalks daily. As for the buried cables depends on the area some do some don't. I have pics sent to me from other babblers from England and it is very green and Mountainous in the Countryside. Manic you sound like your're feeling great and that's wonderful. Love Phillipa

It's my dream to go to Scotland, England and Ireland. My grandparents on my father's side came to Canada from Scotland and I've been able to do some research and find out exactly where they lived.
I am a proud Canadian but there's a pull to see where my ancestors came from.

Wow Manic - it all sounds wonderful & brings back memories of when I went with my Mom on bus tours of England, Scotland, Wales, & Ireland. We were staying with a relative's sister in London. I loved seeing all the stuff we saw.
We also drove with friends to Cornwall & Devon. Still remember an amazing little seaside town where you parked at the top & the cobblestone street was so narrow that people from the upstairs windows of houses across the street could pretty-well shake hands!! lol And I remember a delicious Devonshire tea with tea & scones & jam & clotted cream. YuMMMMMMM.
After Mom came back to Canada, I stayed living there for a while outside London. Got a job in London & took the train in each day. I loved it ALL......even didn't mind that the air in London at that time was so dirty that if I blew my nose the kleenex was grey from dirt in my nose!!! lol
England has so much history...so much has gone on there, many of the towns still have their old charm; history is rich in the very air!
When I got back I missed it so much. Most places here have a 'hollow' feeling in comparison.
I am not saying there's no beauty here. There's breathtaking beauty galore. But very little of the old-world historic mellowness. Quebec City has some. Some buildings in Toronto have some. I'm sure there are other places that I haven't been that have it also, but Canada is such a big country. As you say, for you, you're pretty close to LOTS of things.
love, Kath
