Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling

Good Morning friends

Cheese rolling is believed to have been a popular annual sport for at least 500 years in Gloucestershire, England,

Rolling cheese down from Cooper's Hill traditionally reminds villagers of their right to graze sheep in the beautiful pastures of the hill.

Early in the evening, the event leader, in a white smock and top hat, rolls the "cheese" discs (nowadays, three or four large wooden discs) down the hill.

The game is quite tricky, because the descent down Cooper's Hill is very steep, and people often end up tumbling down the side more quickly than the discs.

People chase after them, and the first to capture one of the discs receives a prize.

Have a great day…a bit rainy but not that bad.
