And now, the much-awaited (yeh I'm sure... all you busy bees!!) pics from the *CRAZY* Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling!! Muddy, silly, kinda pointless but all-in-all very entertaining!!

The view of Coopers' Hill from the bottom

The view down from about half way down... Lovely Cotswold countryside (well the bits you can see in between the cloud and rain).

What an interesting way to survey the quality of the turf...

See, I was definitely there (being sensible).

And lastly, the rose I fell in love with... I've never been a fan of roses (mainly because in Aus you need so many pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilisers, careful chemistry tests, Myers-Briggs tests etc. etc. for roses to grow). BUT these ones (at the Pricknash Abbey) were absolutely gorgeous and I can only describe their smell as citrus cheesecake.... mmmmm heavenly (divine intervention perhaps?)...

Ok, enough about the flowers already - Introducing my first You Tube video - the original looks better on my computer screen but eh, I guess that's the compromise for being able to put it on the web...


And for those of you who have about 6 minutes to spare, I highly recommend viewing this crazy Aussie girl telling Americans how to 'not think - just eat'...
