The White Horse
Sunday, September 2nd, 2007How amazing that I am updating less than a week after our last post…
After last week’s successful adventure in outlet shopping, I decided that I needed to do some more in the hopes of completing my outfit for an upcoming wedding. So I had a look online to find out where some more outlet centres were and we picked one in Swindon, which any local would consider ages away, but we decided to go anyway. On the way back, we decided to check out the White Horse - you know, the big horse carved in the side of a hill forever ago that they use in all the tourist brochures. Like many of those things that are built up to be super impressive, we found it slightly underwhelming - I was expecting something carved more deeply into the ground that didn’t have obvious signs that it needed regular upkeep (like the grass growing amongst the chalk) and a better view of it without hiring a helicopter (although I will admit that we didn’t actually go to the ‘viewing point’ but judging from angles and stuff I’m not sure it would’ve made too much difference). Anyway, we’ve seen it now, so we can tick that off our list too.
