I do love the spring time in England, birds are singing, country sides coming alive, everyone seems a whole lot friendlier in the spring :)

What's your favourite time of the year

Spring is definitely refreshing after a hard winter.


Autumn is my favorite tho. Very colorful, all the fall festivals and jumping in the fallen leaves. Love Autumn!

Since the title of this thread says "Great Britain" instead of "England", let's talk about how great the nation of Scotland is. bigsmile

By the way, Britain is called that because Caesar mispronounced the name of the Pretanic Islands.

Great, West Texas here.

Honey bees are out and no flowers yet.

I put them out some honey water.

I'll keep some in the garden so when the plants start blooming, they can do their thang.

England describes the country, Great Britain describes the Empire - less colonial holdings.

Great Britain includes Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Orkneys, the Channel Islands, you name it.



actually "England" is technicallly just Northumberland and a smatch of west cost harbour. Also where the Vikings mostly invaded, except the west coast bit.
Probably why Eastenders are so droll.

I know that.

In case you didn't notice, the title of this thread says "Great Britain", but the OP mentions only England, as if Great Britain were England only.

I responded by mentioning Scotland, because it, too, is a part of Great Britain, which means that if Great Britain is great, then Scotland is great.
