    A local landowner who lived quite openly in an incestuous relationship with his Daughter, gave his estate to the then prime minister, Pitt the Elder.

    He built a Monument to him.

    Funny how money can make folk ignore other things you do :whistle:

    Annywaaayy,

    Between showers today, popped out and took a few piccies.

          Great panoramic views there Zigs. :blue thumb:

          What are the mysterious grassy humps? I'm guessing they're not giant ant hills.

          Nice sheep too.

              Ta :)

              Not sure if they are ant hills, Bunny toilets or both :dunno:

              That sheep walked up to me and demanded the full on 10 minutes scratching behind the ears, neck, chin.....

              Looked upset when I finally walked away.

                  Which would explain why the sheep in the third picture looks slightly uncomfortable. :lolpt:
