Stratford Upon Avon, England

Love Stratford Upon Avon such a peaceful little town with the beautiful Avon River flowing through the centre. We went on a canal boat ride along the river and visited all things Shakespeare today. He was an amazing playwright and poet producing 37 plays, 154 sonnets and 5 titled poems during his short life of 52 years. I visited his birthplace home and also the cottage of his wife, Anne Hathaway. She lived at her family farm until her marriage to William Shakespeare, she was 26 and he was 18 years of age. We also went on a walking tour taken by a very passionate 78 year old lady who had previously been the mayor of the town and also enjoyed her Theatre. She definitely made the stories come to life.Read more
