Stratford, Warwick, Bath and Stonehenge

So we went to Stratford-upon-Avon (for two nights.. the first night we saw Noughts and Crosses, based on romeo and juliet and the second night we saw Henry V)

Then of course we had to see



This is Shakespeare's Birthplace



This is where the house he built used to be.. The place next door is Hall's Croft.



All sorts of cool sculptures in the gardens.. Brutus.



Then we went to Warwick Castle.. (the tube stop on the corner near our flats is warwick station)



it's not a castle unless it has a trebuchet



we had to go down to the trebuchet.. and found some pretty views.



Josh and I



Then we went to Anne Hathaway's house and Mary Arden's Farm.. this is the farm



And I was a falconer for a day.. learned some tricks to try with Argento.



We left Stratford Wednesday morning (after my full english breakfast) for Bath.

On our way to Bath we stopped in this cotswold village and I found this little path..



that led me to a cemetery.. the only tombstone I could make out was dated 1644



Then we got to Bath



And walked to Bath Abbey..



And next door to the Abbey we went to the..







Then the next morning we went to stonehenge before heading back home









Great trip! Loads of fun.. some things struck my fancy a little more than others. But it was all amazing. I think I took 200+ pictures.. and originally had 30 to post on here. Obviously they went through a finer screening process before they got to you. I decided it was too much work. Cause you know, I do actually have school work. I need to write my play reviews, and finish my reading. Oi, school. Hope everyone is doing well, feel free to send emails. I know you all have it.

Aw, no pictures of you at Stonehenge. I don't think I'd given you my pics yet. You really should show them what the wind was like there: CRAZY!!!
