That made me cry...

Many of those scenes I was amongst only 3 weeks ago. I saw the hay bailing in the fields just 2 days before i left and some gorgeous red admiral butterflies on the sunflowers in my daughters garden. Even the raindrops looked beautiful in those shots.

Can't wait to get back and potter around in my own piece of English countryside.

Okay I have to admit you had me shed a tear or two also with the beautiful Scottish countryside and lilting music (and I'm not someone who cries). I do miss the beauty of Scotland.........

Lovely, though

all i mean is i can show you a beutiful piece of cinematography with lovely background music and i can make Beruit look appealing.

Its not the place its the person. Never has been, Never will be....So pictures of a "Place" are irrelevant really, albeit nice for a bit of sentiment!

Rubbish!

I only got back from there 3 weeks ago. Spent time with my grandchildren. Many of those shots reminded me of happy times with them and places and things we did.
Maybe when you have grown up enough to appreciate what that means you will see things differently. Until then, carry on waxing your surf board and thinking of nowt but you.

You can show me any cinematography of Australia and it wouldn't make me feel one bit sentimental about the place!

Good question! I didn't want to, but hubby was set on it - now after being here, he sees my point of view and we are off back home to UK. Just a pity we have to wait till next year!
