No movement with the boat today as we are in Stratford upon Avon. It was a day of housework, sorting out various emails that needed responses and just relaxing. We did walk along the River Avon for a while to see the church where Shakespeare is buried. The route passed the first lock on the Avon which we will pass through - it is always good to check for potential problems especially with river locks. This is the view of the Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre from the river.

It looks quite cloudy in the photo and certainly the temperature was lower than in the last few days but still warm and pleasant.

Our boat is moored just below Shakespeare's statue.

Highlight of the day was tonight when we went to see the RSC production of Hamlet. We managed to get tickets this morning and the performance was excellent. So glad that we managed to see it. 

It started to rain just before the show started and was still raining when we came out. Luckily it was not too heavy so we are hopeful for a good day tomorrow.
