Looking up St Giles' Hill

Today's WidWed theme is Looking Up, so as I had to go buy food anyway, I thought I'd have a quick blip of my old stamping ground, St Giles' Hill, which rears up at the end of the Broadway.  We used to live just over the road behind me, and my kids spent half their life up here.  Oh the tears when I had to explain why people died, the shrieks of laughter chasing the dog (our sweet old lady, Callie), the solemn candlelit vigil when she died, the competitions to see who could climb the most steps - and the tobogganing! 

I don't know if I've really been successful in showing just how high and steep-sided it is, but to blip this I was lying in the bottom of what had once been a quarry supplying stone to build the late 19th century Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway.  It is certainly too steep for me to walk up but it's bloomin' wonderful to come down on a tin tray!

Very many thanks to Freyjad for hosting today.

Have a happy evening.  Keep safe.  Keep well.  And, of course, keep blipping  xx
