Honestly, does it really take a Scot to come to the defense of England? For instance, Kent is a fantastic county, in so many ways. And Chippy, we had a terrific walking holiday in the Yorkshire Dales 2 years ago. Beautiful.
We live at Killinghall just at the start of Nidderdale. I love visiting London even the wrong side of the river but the same as everyone just about I am always glad to head home.
