Notes From A Small Island by Bill Bryson

But before he does so he takes one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home. His aim was to take stock of the nation's public face and private parts (as it were) and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about the country.
