Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends
Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection, and today we bipped to Wilshire in the Time Travelling Telephone Box to get this furbulous photo!
The B Team's Westbury White Horse Selfie
Obviously, we had to use a little wizardry and photoshop ourselves bigger, as the size of the chalk horse is just astounding*, and mew would never have been able to see us!
Here's a little bit of info from BBHQ's Expert Travel Guide, Smooch:
If mew're looking for a beautiful sight to see in Wiltshire, England, the Westbury White Horse is definitely worth checking out! It's a stunning chalk horse that was carved into the hillside of Westbury and is the oldest of its kind in the area dating back to the late 1600s. The horse measures an epic *180 feet long and 170 feet high, making it one of the largest hill figures in all of Britain.
While nobody knows for certain where the horse came from, many believe that it was created to celebrate King George III's coronation in 1768. Originally outlined in yellow bricks, the horse was later replaced with white chalk in the early 1800s.
Today, the Westbury White Horse continues to be a popular tourist attraction, and it's not hard to see why. Mew can spot it from miles around! A dedicated group of volunteers work hard to maintain the horse and keep it looking its best, and visitors are always welcome to hike up to it and enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
If mew happen to be in the area, don't miss out on this amazing piece of history! It's sure to be an unforgettable experience.

We're also joining in Athena's Fabulous Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.
The effect was created with the ios Prisma App, and we used the effect:- Mimose to give a bit of a colour pop and some texture.
We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 10 mins 12 secs.
Anyhoo it's time for us to go and snoopervise the luncheon menu and cooking of said luncheon. Smooch really loves roast beef, seriously he's even started to sit near the oven in the vain hope of a sumptuous snack! MOL
We'll be back tomorrow with another fun Brain Training post, so do join us then, and if mew haven't entered Fudge's Birthday Giveaway, there's still time, just click here to enter.
So we'll wish mew an epic day with oodles of sun puddles!
And remember to always...
