Stratford

  Today we went into Stratford for the day, it's where Shakespeare was born and is now buried.  When I found out where we were going I wasn't too excited, I'm not into the whole Shakespeare thing.  Before we went to Stratford we stopped at Sarehole Mill, Kimberly wanted to go there because it's where J.R.R Tolkien got the inspiration for the Hobbit books but found out that the mill makes flour.  The mill was under construction so the mill wasn't running.  From there we stopped off at the house where my grandparents use to live and it brought back so many memories.  When we got to Stratford we stopped at the river and I remembered I had been there as a little girl with my grandparents to feed the geese, ducks, and swans.  So I was really happy to be there and I've always loved looking at the pictures of me there.  We walked along the river to the church where Shakespeare is buried, you can see where he is buried but you have to pay 2 pounds to see it and it wasn't worth it.  We had lunch at the Dirty Duck where we use to go with my grandparents and it was good.  We spent the rest of the day walking around the town and doing a bit of shopping and I have to admit I had a lot of fun.  2 more days until Harry Potter!! but until then it's Wales tomorrow, it's going to be a long day.
