Hehehe the area I grew up in, 90% of the year it's all brown, no green
to be seen :-) Bit different to the rest of Britain, heather is about
the only thing that grows there. Now I live 500-odd miles further
south and it is so very different, rolling green hills, green as far
as the eye can see!

For most of Britain, extremely true, up in the Highlands, less so, my
parents have a right headache trying to find plants which will survive
in their garden. Rather exposed, very windy, salt in the air from the
sea, a lot of plants hate it and die. Very different problem to your
area, of course, but somewhat similar results (although there are some
plants which grow well, it just takes a lot of trial and error to find
them!)

Hehehe :-D
