Holy Trinity Stratford

I went to Stratford last week with a friend , the sun even came out at times. Wandered along the river..then had a late lunch accompanied by a glass of wine which just went straight to my head. Why is it that happens? It doesn`t feel as potent in the evening, or perhaps thats just perception...

The view from the balcony on Saturday evening.....I spent a while just sitting and watching. A great way to unwind after work ...

Double Dome

My sister and I spent a couple of lovely nights at The Island Meadow campsite in Aston Cantlow , Hampton in Arden this past weekend.

Its a really nice site with friendly, helpful staff and a nice overall atmosphere.
We arrived later than anticipated on Saturday afternoon due to my car key snapping the night before. After much ringing round and general gnashing of teeth at the size of the quotes offered, I was finally given the name of a locksmith in Radford by the Vauxhall dealership.
Thank goodness for Eydens in Wallace Rd , they actually beat their own quote when I eventually got there. On the phone they said £52 which actually turned out to be a very reasonable £35!!
Bit of a difference to the other estimates I had received which ranged from £176 to £450!!!!!

Anyway back to camping. It was a delightful evening on Saturday as we settled in to munch on sausages and drink copious amounts of tea! Unfortunately an essential part of my airbed was missing so I had to rough it which I hate to do......but I got used to it ....
