England Semester=a lot of reading
our seats for the City of Birmingham symphony!

We visited Anne Hathaway's (Shakespeare's wife) cottage, just outside Stratford-upon-Avon. Ever wondered what Viola meant in Twelfth Night when she speaks of constructing a 'Willow Cabin'? This is it. They were commonly built in Shakespeare's time. If one was suffering from unrequited love, some time in the willow cabin would provide solace. We especially enjoyed the audio player that read us Shakespeare's sonnets while we sat in the Willow Cabin.
Annie and I in the lavender patch...
Some interesting decisions on how to decorate the 'woodland walk' left us wondering who was in charge?! Troll dolls are hung from trees next to quotations from A Midsummer's Night Dream...
