This is a view of the church in Randwick where we attended the cheese rolling ceremony, taken from the hill where we parked our car. Randwick along with several other towns and villages in this part of Gloucester are built on steep hills and the roads are very narrow, as seen in the photo below. With cars parked on one side of the road, there is no two way traffic, so as is the custom in England, when two cars approach this narrow lane, an oncoming car will "flash" its lights to indicate the right of way and once clear, they proceed. While it's all very civilized, driving these roads is not for the faint of heart!
