Wedding Anniversary Number Three

As hard to believe as it seems to me, three years have now gone by (well on Friday) since Nicky and I got married. We repeated last years events we enjoyed them so much. We headed up to Stratford Upon Avon again, for fine food, rowing and Shakespeare.

This time we saw Ian McKellan in King Lear, it was excellent, everything I expected. We have really been very lucky two years running, last year it was Patrick Stewart in Anthony and Cleopatra. To have seen two of the greats in Shakespeares home town in quality productions is great.

Before the play we had fine food and wine, then after the show pudding back at the hotel.

Marvellous.

Wow, what a weekend we had!

It was our second anniversary last week, so this weekend, we finally went on a celebration weekend, that we had been planning for a long time. We headed up to Stratford Upon Avon, went in a rowing boat, had tea in some tea rooms, saw the birthplace of Shakespeare, stayed in a posh hotel... and to top it all off, we saw Anthony and Cleopatra at the Swan Theatre, starring Patrick Stewart!!!

It was the funniest, best acted Shakespeare I have ever seen, and while they are doing all the plays, I highly recommend going to see one! I ate rabbit for starters at the hotel, then a fine piece of Scottish ribeye steak.

Today, we followed on with excellent plans, and went to Warwick Castle on the way home. They had a working Trebuchet there!!!

Some pics of the whole weekend...
