I picked up something like this about three years ago. No regrets.
Though I can't help but feel like I'm also adding to the climate problem.

I am in the process of watching Run Away on Netflix. It is set in the UK and filmed there as well. I am not sure what specific region though. Anyway while the shots of the country side are beautiful and green they seem less green than I remember from previous trips I've taken to England... so a question for those in the UK... with the recent rise in temperatures during the last few summers are things less green now? Or am I remembering things through 'emerald green' tinted glasses?

The UK is consistently Grey and overcast as a general rule. Except 5-8 weeks in the summer where our insulated miserable weather houses struggle with 30C and we all think about getting aircon. The hard bit is our walls are solid with no space for ducting of any kind, so if you have the money some people end up with free standing units. Still rare.
In SW Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway) this year we've had a LOT of rain and it's been warm but not as hot as further south in the UK.
As a result the green stuff has grown like mad. Not looking parched yet.
But it's getting away from me on my land because it's alternated between being too wet to cut anything or too hot. The willow loves it.

It can depend on the water table, the sun and the heat have turned my driveway into greenery thanks to the prevalent weeds growing between the cracks in the paving.
It's more a case of rainfall than temperature.

You can get a mix of heatwave and thunderstorms and things can grow very quickly and be very green. However without the rainfall, then it very quickly turns brown/yellow.
