Had a great day out in Stratford yesterday. When we arrived we found a nice tea-shop and I had an Afternoon tea ... proper China cups and warm scones. Very nice. We then wandered around Stratford doing a bit of window shopping. Found the Christmas shop ... yes there really is a shop selling Christmas stuff in March !

Had a look at Shakespeare's house but we didn't go inside.

Had a walk along the river and caught the ferry back across. Bargain at 50p !

We then had a ttip up the Tower at the theatre ... the lift had broken so we had to walk up the five flights! Views weren't particularly good as it was very cloudy.
We then wandered down to the Church and saw Shakespeare's final resting place. Evening meal at the Dirty Duck. We then headed off for the evening performance of Romeo and Juilet. The RSC theatre has been completely refurbished and it is now very similar in set-up to the Globe Theatre in London. Romeo and Juliet was just WOW ... such a powerful performance. Definitely be making another visit to the theatre.
