Alison Wright, a Scot temporarily in LA

"Its green-ness. The weather in LA is great and I see a lot of blue, but unless I look up and see that little smudge on the top of palm tree trunks, I could go days without seeing green. I think in the future we'll be happy in Scotland blanketed for days on end by a giant rain cloud. The rest of the world will look to us enviously as we drink fresh water and they are scorched by an unforgiving sun."
