Saturday: Finally sorted  London accommodation with guidance from Glenn, starting our adventures today a little later after farewells to Kathleen and David, we headed off to Stratford upon Avon to check out the Bard and friends, the first of our stops was Mary Arden's house and Tudor Farm. Again we had found a little gem, we both had our pics taken with a Falcon called Zulu after watching the Falconry show. finally found a door way that even Jacqui had to duck through, The staff who are volunteers all dress in Tudor Dress and we had a chat with a leather and wood carver before heading onto Anne Hathaway's Cottage. Again we weren't let down, the cottage ! well more a house and gardens were wonderful, finishing in the sculpture garden and hedge maze. there were a few points in the gardens i would like to try at home. the historian gave us a great talk on the house and family, giving us the true facts to the tale. Unfortunately we ran out of day time to move onto William Shakespeare's home, as we had a date at a pub for dinner, never mind, we had a great day with what we saw. tomorrow we head away again. This time to Reading for a certain game of Football
