Chasing the Cheese ???
You know, when I was trying to figure out what me and the kids could do for fun this long three day week end - chasing cheese down a hill was not one of my ideas.
May 27 - The wind and rain didn't stop thousands of people watching the annual cheese roll in Gloucestershire, England.
Competitors from around the world flocked to Gloucestershire to take part in a sporting event with a difference, the giant cheese roll.
As the cheese rolled down the hill, dozens of people ran, slipped and tumbled after it. Paramedics were on the scene to assist the injured and mud-covered competitors.
Cheese rolling is thought to date back centuries. During rationing between 1941 and 1954, the wheel of cheese had to be substituted with a wooden circle containing a token piece of cheese inside.
