THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN WHO LIVED IN A SHOE!

Styled on the popular English nursery rhyme 'there was an old woman who lived in a shoe' The Haines house, built in 1948 in America is a guest house popular with the elderly and weekend breaks. It really is an ultimate whimsical dwelling!!

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread;
Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

It is debatable what the true meaning off this ryhme is all about and it appears that no one is quite sure other than it was a comment on the amount of children some women had at the time and the way they coped and got on with their daily lives to keep them all in check. I would like to think there really was a lady that lived in a giant shoe with her children :D
