Your Week in Great Detail.
DO NOT PANIC!!!!!
I realise that yesterdays post was in great detail, and only saved by the photos courtesy of Shan's camera. I don't think I can put you through a whole week in great detail but I will tell you about my week.
Last Saturday
Appointment at the hairdresser for a cut and colour then onto the shops to buy a new laptop-Heaven!
The afternoon was spent playing on said laptop.
Sunday was a very lazy day. We went for a drive then ended up at my in-laws for a cup of tea. We picked some gooseberries and black currents from their garden and went home.
That evening I watched the new series Sherlock
Monday I went food shopping, boring! then home to do a little sewing. I made this bunting for my god daughters birthday and started to do an applique notebook cover. I made a gooseberrry and black current crumble.
Tuesday I went to the dentist to see why my tooth was aching a week after I had had a small filling-he didn't know! He had a poke around at my tooth and put some horrid tasting stuff on it and I left! I enjoyed the first episode of BBC 1's The Deep on TV in the evening.
Wednesday was a lovely day spent with my mum. We went to Hale Village to take the dog for a walk. Hale village is not far from Speke in Liverpool but has kept it's rural charm. First we walked down to the old lighthouse, the River Mersey was once one of the busiest places and the lighthouse was needed to help guide the boats through.
It was last used in 1958.As you can see Toffee found some water to paddle in!
Then it was a walk around the village. The church of St Mary's and its ancient churchyard.The most visited grave is of The Childe of Hale (John Middleton).
Born in Hale in 1578 and before he was 20 his height was 9 foot 3 inches!
This was the cottage where he was born, and the story is he use to sleep with one foot out of each of the gable end windows.
There are many other beautiful buildings in Hale.This is the Manor House.
and there are lots of lovely cottages, my mum wants to live in one of these!
Then it was a short drive to Pickering's Pasture to pick damsons.
The blackberries could do with a bit of August sunshine before they are ready.
Thursday was posted in detail yesterday and today, Friday I have been to the shop for milk and bread and started finished my book cover only to start another. This afternoon I am going to tackle that huge amount of damsons!
You find the most lovely places to visit! Right on my doorstep if I ever escape the renovation! I already love the Mersey estuary.

I love my day trips with you! Another very interesting visit. mmmmm, I'm going outside & brave the gales to pick some blackberries I could just eat a crumble...xxx
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there was a lighthouse on the river Mersey & my Dad was from Liverpool !
ReplyDeleteThe blackberries are ripening nicely here....
crumble me thinks
I love to see things like this, 9ft three it's such a curiosity isn't it ... you really do find the most unusual little nooks and crannies to explore.
ReplyDeleteWe have a Hale Village near us! Only it's called Hale Farm and village and is a restored 19th century farmstead along with several of the accompanying village's buildings. It looks as though it hasn't changed at all for 200 years. You can tour it and watch as people go about their business there as if it were the 1800's.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these posts :) x
ReplyDeleteThose are nice places you have visited.Well Sunday is always lazy day for me also.I also want to visit this type of beautiful place.

I keep thinking of that poor man who had to sleep with his feet sticking out of the windows!!! x
ReplyDeleteDo you know, I've driven past Hale so many times on the way to the airport and never once thought to stop. I knew about the Child of Hale, but I didn't realise there was anything else to see. It's now on my list of things to do in the locality - I've got a very long list!

These are great pictures and information. This was the birthplace, and the story is that he used to sleep with one foot outside each gable window.
