Stratford Upon Avon

Birmingham- Moor St Train Station
Last train trip before packing the bags to come home- Stratford Upon Avon. The entire center of town is a pedestrian zone with lots of shopping, eating and historical information regarding William Shakespeare. The home where he was born has been restored and many archaeological digs have been done in the region. A museum with research material for scholars is right next door. All of his writing is available for sale as well. Stratford itself is a small town so it was a very relaxed day all around. I got home at about 3:30pm just in time for tea and cakes with Julie. By the end of tea Barb and Jan had talked Julie into taking us all into town to visit thrift stores- you can't trust these two if there's a bargain to be had! Luckily it was late in the day so we couldn't get to very many shops before the sidewalks were rolled up at 5pm.

So packing is the priority for the evening! See you all soon.

The Chunky Monkey is growing up fast and beginning his show training. He experienced his first time up on a grooming table along with a quick brushing. He starts his handling class next week. Paschetta, the Monkey's dad, kept an eye on the proceedings as Chunky danced around the table trying to figure out why he was up there.
