Stonehenge

Left our great digs in Bath and set out for Shakespeare country with a few stops on the way.

First, some big stones you may not have heard of, Stonehenge. The view from the street was almost as good as the view we paid 8 quid each for. However, the free audio guide was riveting.

We were particularly excited that over 90 different types of lichen have been discovered on the stones (to date). Maybe they will discover more lichen species in the future...

After our big rock experience we thought we might be able to dodge the entry fee at Warrick castle by peering through the fence. It was not to be, greeted by a 12 foot stone wall. Still, we will save our castle £'s for Windsor.

27 degrees on our arrival in Stratford-upon-Avon. It seems topless with track suit pants is the way to go on a warm spring day. We are struggling with our winter heavy wardrobe. Shopping??

Picked up some last minute tix to see some classic Shakespeare at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre tonight. Fill you in tomorrow :)

Pics- Sarcasm aside, Stonehenge was amazing/ Over 90 lichen and one ladybug/ A weak point in the Warwick fences gives us a glimpse of a pair of peacocks
