Shakespeare in the Rain

22 June – Friday

Stratford-on-Avon, and it is pouring! At least it is not cold. After a short drive to Anne Hathaway’s Cottage – it is absolutely amazing to stand in a house 500 years old which still has the original furniture! The cottage also had the most beautiful garden, with flowers, vegetables and orchard. We then decided to give Maxwell (Smart) the day off and walked into the centre of the city and did all the touristy things like visiting Shakespeare’s birthplace and the house where he spent his final years. The city centre was lovely, all quaint old buildings, market square, canal with boats, and LOTS of tourists.

Decided to have a quiet afternoon, and we both found hairdressers and will probably live on bread rolls for the remainder of the holiday!
