We picked up a hire car again from Heathrow and then met Joyce downstairs for breakfast- she was leaving today to catch a train to Lincoln. We were going to go over the Linda's after breakfast and pack for our trip to Scotland and the Lakes District. We are hopefing leave about 12.00. We managed to re-organise our clothes and re-pack and left for the lakes. So we were on a schedule so far.
We stopped at Stratford on Avon first for a quick break. We had been here before, however, I wanted Braedon to see it all again, as he was a baby the last time we were here. I love the Christmas shop and this time I bought a fairy on a vintage chair for Tia. Braedon also picked up a snow owl for himself and Kody. There are some gorgeous things in this shop, however, luggage space is a bit of an issue now so I am reluctant to get too much.

We went into a toy shop and tried on this little hat. I tried to explain to Braedon that William Shakespeare was born here, but of course its all a bit out of his level of comprehension. Still I'm sure he took a few things in.
We took a look at Anne Hathaway's cottage and also the Shakespeare theatre.

We needed to leave to continue onto Warwick now. We had booked the Agincourt Lodge which was a Bed and Breakfast. We found it without any trouble. We checked in and took our luggage up to the top rooms.
We walked into town and were surprised that the town was very quiet and not quite the touristy town we had thought. Still we were going to the castle in the morning. We had dinner in a local pub and Braedon again was chatting up the bar staff. They were quite obliging and didn’t seem to mind.
