I feel genuinely claustrophobic in most of England... there's just
stuff EVERYWHERE. I grew up in Ayrshire which - yes, for sure - has its share of gross little towns, but it's like 90% green and quite flat (dairy farming land)... so from many vantage points, nothing but rolling hills and fields all the way to the sea. 'tis basically how I remember my childhood. Fields and sky. Ahh The Shire...
