More about our trip!

As I said, Stuart's youngest sister Rachael had just bought and opened a tea shop in Stratford upon Avon called 'Fourteas', a Forties theme with forties music and lots of war time paraphernalia and propaganda on the walls. A lovely space and a very good pot of tea!!!! Here's a picture of the full Ivor Novello English tea!! Yummo!!!

And here's a picture of our friend Jane (who drove 200 miles to spend some time with us, Jane and Ian shared a flat during the '70's!!).

And our friend Pegi underneath the Union Jack enjoying a cuppa!! (Love the poster ... "Keep Calm and Carry On!". How British and how appropriate for these days of riots!!!!).

Here's Ian. (right) Rachaels husband with their daughter, Alice who we remember as a very small child! Stuart, Pegi and I took a open top double decker bus tour of the Shakespeare 'properties' ending up at Mary Arden's house outside Stratford, left opposite. We didn't go in to visit as we preferred the local pub for a liquid lunch!!! What a lovely afternoon we all had!
