WHEE!

Well, I don't know what Google was on but they claimed it would take me an hour to walk from my hotel to the theatre. It takes 15 minutes. Less than that just to get into town.

Had a little wander around this evening and just about exploded from squee.

When I first arrived in Stratford I was a little disappointed that the first things I saw were a Morrisons and a construction site. Really, not what I was expecting

The town centre, though, is EXACTLY what I was expecting. Lots of old buildings, a pretty river, it's perfect. I'm going to be a total tourist tomorrow and go to all the Shakespeare places. I accidentally found the foundations of a house it is believed Shakespears father owned, just by wandering to the theatre. LOL!

I hope the weather is good tomorrow. I've already taken a couple of photos

I would really love to find time to do some writing tomorrow. It just feels like something I should do while I'm here.

*is excited*

That sucketh dearly. I really need to get my arse in gear and sort out my CBT, and theory test - then I can ride my way round.

Seems like an awesome idea to get a big road hog bike, and just power down the motor ways, and on to b-roads, then coast it through places like Stratford seeing the sites.

What I'll actually be doing is getting a tiny bike, and not going anywhere to start with (not allowed on motorways with just a CBT).

You're braver than me. You'd have to pay me to ride a bike, especially on the motorways. It's scary enough in a car
