Had a lovely medicinal drinkie at The Childe of Hale pub too before heading home...
John Middleton (1578–1623) was an English giant commonly known as the Childe of
Hale. Most of what is known about him is based on oral tradition and legends.
Legend tells that he slept with his feet out of the window of his small house.
Tales also credit him with great strength http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Middleton_(giant)
the long walk down to the beach....
there's just something mesmorising about sunlight on water....
the house next to the lighthouse is private and i assume they own the lighthouse too as it's all gated off. Their little outcrop would make a smashing spot for a tea room. I reckon they're missing a trick there! :0)
Frodsham hill in the background...
happy wind blown pooch...
gorgeous house in Hale village...
gorgeous cottage in Hale village...Can't decide which I prefer...probably the cottage :0)
