Very beautiful country, though. I've only ventured into the British countryside few times when I've visited, but it's mesmerizing. There's something fascinating about the countryside there, and I'm led to believe N. Ireland and Ireland proper have that same characteristics. Not something I've seen on my travels in other countries. It's almost as if you're living in a painting with saturated colors. The ivy though... I'd love to burn the ivy there and here. A disgusting weed that conquers everything in its path and destroys property.
