Big-Si3.jpg

We have a landmark called White Nancy http://www.happy-valley.org.uk/wn%20pan.htm

This is on top of Kerridge Ridge atop of Bollington over time she has been painted by the locals as various things, including an angel, father christmas and a xmas pudding.
More recently it is being targetted by vandals and was recently partially painted pink with various graffiti added in pink.
I was tasked to go and photo it and recover the paint cans left behind.

So off I went in my trusty landy, drove up Kerridge Ridge on the track as far as I could go and then had tofoot it up the 300 steps.
10 minutes later I was at the top and amazed at the view, being somewhat out of breath and what I thought the only person about I exclaimed in Anglo Saxon
" gracious me I am somewhat tired after all those lovely steps" to be greeted by 2 old ladies on their church sunday walk sat behind me that " indeed it is tiring walking all those steps"
Oops
15 minutes later and after some grovelling I returned to the Landy, got in and opened my water, next thing I know it's 1/4 of an hour later and I had fallen asleep (lazy me)
I was now surrounded by cows (mortal fear of) I have cow phobia look at the eyes..pure evil any way I blasted the sirens and they soon moved :-)
