Here are some photos of my birthday weekend which we spent in Stratford-upon-Avon. I had always wanted to go there and wasn't disappointed. It really felt as if you were somewhere different. All the shop fronts in the town were as they should be - there were pillars outside M&S for goodness sake and Next looked like the shop Bagpuss lived in! This is how towns should be rather than all looking the same.
I've decided that my home City of Salisbury should have paid heed to Stratford when putting their town centre plan together. Stratford is how Salisbury should be and probably what tourists think it is before they get there. I mean I know the Cathedral close is outstanding but what about beyond that, it's just another place full of too many coffee shops.
Moan over here's another photo:
They even have beautiful lamposts!
This was the stage set for Matilda.
I knew that red cardi was a good idea. The butterflies loved it!
