The Grounds of Speke Hall 25/4/2021

I had a hand sanitizer fight, which I won!
I rolled down hills, in the bright Hale Sun.
We saw trees even Monkeys can't climb.
I built a tree shelter in the warm sunshine.

We saw the shoes of a giant, what a pair!
I then looked so tiny, as I sat in his chair.
We looked for the Giants buttons and bows.
He was 9 foot 3 inches, so the story goes!

His name was John Middleton, this his trail.
John is now famous as 'The Childe of Hale' 
Saint and Rooney read a book of giant lines.
A book all about John, in verse and rhymes.

Emily was amazed when she saw giant feet.
Sticking out of his window into the street!
The Childe of Hale also had a Giant snore.
We heard it miles away from his front door!

A little time on the slides and swings to play.
All this took place in lovely Speke Hall today.
Then on the way home we bought our tea.
I bought tubs of ice cream and Simona had 3!
