A little bit of culture

[Hagar]

It's been a busy weekend for me one way or another. On the way up to visit my daughter for a few days Grumpy's (nearly-famous) Mystery Tours stopped off at Stratford-upon-Avon for a little sightseeing trip.

Stratford is a picture basking in the Spring sunshine. The Bard was apparently born in this house.


This is one end of the Stratford canal set in a beautiful park. You can travel by water to Birmingham, Liverpool, York or London from here. The signpost tells you how far it is & how many locks involved.



Or you can go through this lock into the River Avon.





This is the river. Delightful.



I can recommend it. The prices are not as bad as I expected either.

Beautiful photos Doug, any yup that is where young Will was born. His father was a rather important local businessman (glove maker), and so his birth is registered in the parish church along with his address

the most exciting thing we saw had to be a guy having a heart attack in some italian restaurant. lol. He was ok in the end after the medics got to him.

[Hagar]

Thanks. Glad you like 'em.

What! No aeroplanes?

I thought it would make a change from the usual aeroplanes. Grumpy's Tours caters for all tastes. Well, almost all tastes. We draw the line at some things. You never know for certain where you'll end up but we're a respectable outfit. Prices are very reasonable too.

That lock seems to be quite the novelty.
