ROCKING YOUR WORLD FRIDAY - 41ST OF 2022

 Good afternoon lovely people, can you believe I genuinely forgot, yep Sunday afternoon and no rocking post on Friday apologies


Now blogger being naughty has put these on the wrong way around, we had a lovely week away at Stratford and the weather was on the whole very kind.

This was our last day at Sudeley Castle enjoying their sculpture trail


I also loved this as a nod to the fact that Elizabeth the first had been to Sudeley


This looked significantly smaller from a distance. 


I also loved the huge elephants


I loved these sculptures in New Place in Stratford inspired by the Tempest


Anne Hathaway's Cottage was also a delight and significantly bigger than I expected


It really is a beautiful building


The cottage also had a sculpture trail, hubby insisting on taking the photo from the 'wrong' side. 


Hatton locks was fantastic a feat of engineering 21 locks


The jester was lovely in Stratford itself


William Shakespeare's birthplace had this stunning porcelain statue inspired by Midsummer Night's dream 


and we went to Bourton-on-the-water model village, the only grade II model village in the country


Chedworth Roman mosaics were stunning 


Snowshill was also amazing, a house full of collections


Packwood was also lovely, although we didn't get chance to see the house, but the gardens were lovely


As you can see I was enjoying having a break away


Our first day was spent walking around Baddesley Clinton


So the week was lovely and much needed, we had a very busy week at work but I really did enjoy the break. 

We also enjoyed two Shakespeare plays Richard III and All's Well that Ends Well both of which were awesome.
