Remember 1967 - The Summer of Love? 2019 is turning out to be The Summer of, well, No Summer.
Many people like to get out into the countryside at weekends, but what exactly is the countryside? There are very few places you can go where you're not confronted by well manicured fields containing either domesticated animals or crops. What we consider to be countryside is actually anything but.
The only real countryside, untouched by man, exists in the wilds of Scotland, parts of North Wales and on uncultivated moors in England, which are rather bleak at the best of times. Even then a lot of it is cropped by hill farmers' sheep.
Did you know that housing comprises only 5% of the available land in the UK?
