This used to be one of my favourite subjects. Just because we both call it green doesn't mean that I see what you see. I might actually be seeing the colour that you call red.

The ancient greeks didn't define colours as we do which is amazing to me.

I also find it quite incredible that a century or so ago the Lake District was regarded as wild and ugly and a part of the country to be avoided at all costs with all those nasty high mountains and wet horrible meres and waters. How opinions do change.
