The English Countryside

June 7

We have been driving in the countryside now for two days.  Here's our observations:
There are no straight roads.  Every street is narrow, bendy, twisty, curvy roads with tall hedges on either side, right up to the roadway and trimmed like a wall.
No garbage anyway.  Not even in London.  London didn't even smell (like New York City does). Yet there are very few trash  bins. Jason told us that since there terrorist attacks a few years ago, they removed public trash bins.  But still the question: how come every place is so clean and without garbage?
Very green everywhere.  Everyone trims their hedges.  The roses are everywhere and on big bushes that are like small trees.
Everywhere are stone fences made of flat stones, topped with vertical flat stones or paved.  Are all the rocks in England the same shape?  Are there no round rocks?
Next time Bring a GPS!  I set up Google each morning before we leave our accommodation and internet connection and it follows us all day.  Except when we get off track it doesn't up- date or recalculate – a very important feature.
