Stratford, Shakespeare & Swans…

Kilometres Walked : Tuesday – 4.9, Wednesday – 11, Thursday – 10

Thursday 24th August, 2023.

Spending the last few days at Easington in our little converted Church was exactly what the doctor ordered. Rest and recuperation after all our travels and hiking. And after many daily beach walks, sleeping in, reading books, watching a few movies and enjoying an aperitif every afternoon in the glorious sunshine we have finally recharged the batteries. Now for the last little leg of our travels before boarding that plane and heading back to Oz!

Last beach walk.

Just managing to pack all of our belongings into our bags🤪, we headed off this morning for the home of Shakespeare. Stratford Upon Avon is our home for the next two nights, and what a quaint and pretty place it is. On the way though we stopped for a wander through another very beautiful town, Warwick. Seeing as we drive through our own Warwick every time we head to the farm we thought it fitting that we call into this one!

I love this.
Warwick Castle.
So cute.

Look at that blue sky yet again.
The pots of colour were amazing.

Wow!

What a beautiful little town Warwick was. So much medieval architecture and the pots of colour everywhere were just fabulous. Very quintessential English countryside scenery indeed.

We still can’t believe how great the weather is. 25 degrees today☀️. Arriving into Stratford Upon Avon we were delighted once again at the super cute buildings lining the streets and the very pretty Avon River snaking its way through town with beautiful big parks either side of it. Enjoying a lovely evening stroll through the park and alongside the canal, we found a great little pub right on the river for a pint of cider.

The Avon River.
Very Pretty.
Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
Just swanning about.
Stratford Eye.
Enjoying a Pint.
Little boats everywhere.
Shakespeare is buried in there.
Loving our Conservatory.

Gotta love a big conservatory especially here in the United Kingdom. What a wonderful way to bring the outside in all year round especially when it’s a little dull and cold outside. I can imagine filling one with lots of lush indoor plants and enjoying my morning coffee looking out to the garden and up at the sky☕️. Looking forward to spending the day exploring Stratford tomorrow and possibly go see a play!
