As for recent crazy British events, the annual Cheese Rolling event happened once again at Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire, England.
Image courtesy of Matt Cardy / Getty Images Contestants chase a Double Gloucester Cheese down a steep incline of Cooper's Hill . Thousands gather to watch, a few chasers usually end up in hospital and the winner - well, he walks away with the cheese.
Would even Wallace of Wallace and Gromit throw themselves down a hill for cheese? This tradition dates back hundreds of years and has seen countless of broekn bones. Does anyone out there know the significance of chasing cheese?
As for crafts, I was busy painting Babushkas this weekend. Is anyone else out there Babushka mad?

I don't think I will throw myself down a hill after a rolling cheese...nope...I am pretty sure I will not!
Wow I didnt realise you could find so many different ways of colouring and creating such stunning images with them. I love your babushka, its beautifully bright.
And Ive no idea why anyone would want to through themselves down a hill after a cheese, unless they really are that crazy about cheese. Love and hugs Shirleyxxx

I love the cheese chasers photo! Do these people know they can just go and buy Double Gloucester in any supermarket, without having to risk life and limb ha ha?
Your blue Babushka is lovely! Funnily enough I have a half painted one somewhere - you may have inspired me to finish it off!
I've never really been keen on babushkas , funny now the more I see them the more I like them .
Very cute :)

Hi, Just wanted to let yo know that Ive left you something on my blogspot. love and hugs Shirleyxxx
Thank you for all of the wonderful comments and for the awards! They're really appreciated.
Morning! Sorry to leave a comment instead of an email. . .
I haven't been taking photoshop classes, just fiddling around and learning as I go. I do have a dh who thinks he knows what he's doing, so I have a bit of help!
I get a lot of my images from old books and postcards that I come across at garage sales. I'm not sure how that works in the copyright world, but I'm just going with it. The image of the lady is from one of those postcards, it was actually a new one that a girlfriend had sent to me.
Love your blog and good luck with the contest!
Beth
