The Bournemouth-Poole-Christchurch area is the largest settlement in the UK that isn't a city, with a population of nearly 500,000.
Apparently speed bumps and speed humps are different things. Humps have a gentle incline and cover the whole road surface, while bumps are usually plastic or rubber and require you to slow down to almost walking pace to get over safely.
Stone Pines probably would die here as they are from Italy and couldn't survive our lowest temps in winter I would think. I have never ever seen them here or in the Southeastern US. I don't know about the western US. I didn't see them in Palm Springs though in November either, but I think maybe they are there and in Arizona.
England should really grow a lot of what southern Japan grows. Japan has an amazing array of beautiful broadleaf evergreen natives.
One in particular that grows well in Oregon is the evergreen cherry laurel prunus zipelliana. A broadleaf evergreen that has a bark and structure like a crepe myrtle. Beautiful tree.
My life has opened up again giving me time to start posting to the forum again.
Here are some photos from the slow-to-arrive spring in Edmonton.

April 5, temperatures -10/-22°C:
April 7 temperatures -7/-14°C:

Nice pics. At least the pine trees add a lot of green, and the white snow cover is always more attractive than dull browns we get around here in winter.
Snow cover and pine trees is def more attractive imo than a dead grass, brown drab winter landscape.

Ever see those in the UK?

woa, that looks so similar to Patagonia's arrayan tree (Luma Apiculata)

I thought cherry laurel was native to the UK. There are certainly a lot of them here, along with bay laurel.
I've heard it said before that the cities with the largest variety of plant species on earth are London and Tokyo.
When the sun came out yesterday afternoon the I took the dog for walk in the river valley. Temperature was about 4°C.
