Birthday quote

Today's quote is by William Mcguire (Bill) Bryson OBE, FRS, the best selling Anglo American author of books on travel, English Language, and science,
Born December 8th 1951, in Des Moines, Iowa, USA

An awful lot of England is slowly eroding, in ways that I find really distressing, and an awful lot of it is the hedgerows... We're reaching the point where a lot of the English countryside looks just like Iowa – just kind of open space.

Bill Bryson
