In fall in Colorado; it's not unlikely to see two men dressed in full camo gear, in a pickup with a big array of guns and ammo- all ready for huntin' Elk.
In Autumn in Berkshire, it's not unlikely to see two gentlemen, dressed in tweed and flat caps, in a Landrover with two polished rifles and a Spaniel bouncing around- all ready for the 'Shoot'.

In Colorado you can walk into your local supermarket and buy a automatic shotgun.
In Berkshire you can walk into your local supermarket and get I.Dd for Superglue.

When you go Fall Hiking in Colorado you take 'bear spray' climb over boulders, up mountains and through Creeks.
When you walk the Berkshire Countryside in Autumn you take wellies and a coat, you climb through mud.
----------------
When you go out for a meal in Colorado it's a half an hour brief stop over.
When you go out for a meal in Berkshire it's a whole evenings event.
----------------
In Colorado everything is 'Ahhsome'
In Berkshire everything is 'Jolly/ Very Good'
----------------
In Colorado driving can be tricky, multiple lane highways with huge cars, terrible drivers, multiple intersections and the mountains drawing your eye off the road can make for some real challenges.
In Berkshire we have tractors bombing down country roads - directly towards you, which are barely wide enough for one car let alone two. The art is knowing which grass verges have ditches hidden in them and which don't.
-----------------
In Colorado, you worry that your furniture won't be big enough to fill the room
In Berkshire you spend hours measuring furniture to make sure you can squeeze it into the room
----------------
In all, both places have soothing special to offer. England will always hold the most social place in my heart but Colorado is certainly super fun!
