Wandering Stratford, I found a few things worth a snap or two. I through this contrast with the little bin with the discarded umbrella in front of the upscale jewelry store to be interesting.
We made a couple visits to the Royal Shakespeare Theater while in Stratford-upon-Avon on our house sit. This night was by far the best we've seen. On this evening we saw Richard III and a fine production it was.
We finally arrived at our next house sit in Stratford-upon-Avon, the home of the renowned bard. September is a bit off the high season so while there were plenty of people, it wasn't packed.
After leaving Dunbar, Scotland, we headed south. After spending a few days in the Lake Country - more on this part of our trip at a later date - we drove farther south to our next house sit in Stratford-upon-Avon. Here are some photos from a few of my morning runs. There are advantages to being out at sunrise.
As you can see, we are sheep country. Stratford is on the northern edge of the Cotswolds, a place brimming with sheep. You also see more details about villages in the Cotswolds later also.
