After five years in Los Angeles, perhaps Robbie Williams missed the English countryside.

Well, now he's got 71 acres of it all to himself.
The 34-year-old singer, who has been based in the U.S. since 2004, has been spotted strolling in the grounds of his new £7million French-style country mansion in Wiltshire.
Back for good: Robbie Williams has left Los Angeles for this £7million mansion in Wiltshire
Missing Britain: Robbie
Williams is setting up home in the 17th century manor house as he prepares to record a new solo album.
His girlfriend, 29-year-old American actress Ayda Field, is expected to join him.
The property has a tennis court, a sauna and swimming pool complex, eight bathrooms, a gym, two staff flats and a helicopter hangar.
Williams's sister, Sally Symonds, said: 'Robert has missed Britain. He has wanted to come back for the past 12 to 18 months. He has enjoyed living in LA - he can move around freely and the sun always shines. But it's a pretty soulless place.
'I think Ayda will come with him. He brought her home to Stoke a few months ago and she seemed a very kind, pleasant, down-to-earth girl.'
The arrival of the pop star has already caused a stir among locals.
On Thursday, Williams drew a crowd when he went shopping in a nearby village.
He covered himself up in a balaclava and sunglasses when he realised he had been spotted.
His decision to move back to the UK coincides with the hugely successful comeback of his former Take That bandmates - and it will do nothing to dampen speculation about a possible reunion.
