Stratford

Stratford and the surrounding countryside represents everything I love about England - the history, old, character-filled buildings, thatched cottages, gorgeous houses and whopping big scones.  I wouldn't normally include that last point, but having seen those beauties below they made a late addition to the list J

The top right cottage belonged to Anne Hathaway - the wife of William Shakespeare.

On the way home we caught up with Jon and Sarah in Rugby, just three days before but number three (as yet un-named) made his appearance.  Congratulations Jon, Sarah, Phoebe and Oscar and thanks for a gorgeous lunch. (slow cooked pork - recipe here J)
