The home of Shakespeare

We spent a quiet day in Stratford, doing a bit of shopping and then sitting in the front cratch gongoozling the comings and goings in the basin.

After a tip off from Mum, we couldn't resist tracking down the new development of flats called Oliver's lock

On our meanderings we also went past Shakespeare’s house – this is a rare photo without any tourists in front of it!

we met up with Richard and Jane for dinner at Encore and said farewell as we’d be setting of early the next morning whilst they were staying another day.
