From Upon The Great White Horse

Last time I was in Uffington I didn't end up going here, but I'd been three years ago and never really forgotten about it. The Great White Horse is arguably the site in the area and the view from here is magnificent - or so I'd been told! The day I'd been atop it for the first time, there was an absolutely ludicrous mist covering the countryside and I was denied the view. Thus, during one of the days immediately following my time in Athens, I asked my friends to take me up there again and this time I was much luckier.
The often quoted "they" say that if you stand upon the eye of the horse and make a wish, it might come true. Despite my disbelief in these sorts of things , it was just too amusing an idea not to try.
