1700 - The green green grass

A beautiful blue sky, a chilly breeze
A day out with two daughters to Lichfield
A lovely drive past springtime fields and trees
To Staffordshire, the idea appealed
Not been to my old home town since dad keeled
On Prince Rupert's Way, spoke with Dave Carter
An old next door neighbour. His son's in Hale
Down the road from Wilmslow. We walked to the
Beautiful dark cathedral with three spires
Ate at the Tudor Cafe - chicken, peas
Carrots, cauliflower. Boring. Revealed -
The market square, its wares worth a good stare
A game of rounders by Stowe Pool, then please
Just ten minutes in Beacon Park - it's cold!

  1. it's windy today - is Lichfield your home town? You should have put mustard on that meal.

  2. Yes Jude - it's where I come from. It's nice to visit now and then!

    Mustard - good suggestion, altho I don't really like the taste of it, to be honest... I'm not keen as it.
