We spent a wonderful weekend in Shakespeare’s birthplace for a surprise birthday party for my son’s lovely girlfriend.  It was absolutely fabulous, but I couldn’t leave without visiting some of my favourite Shakespeare haunts as he is one of my favourite writers.  Unfortunately, my iPhone died on my just before we reached Anne Hathaway’s Cottage.  I must return and admire the beautiful garden in full bloom. If you enjoy Shakespeare too, you might enjoy seeing some of these pictures:
