Holy moly time for a catch up!
August. It was that dreaded time again that comes once a year, the B word. As always we wanted to get away from Londinium for some fresh country air so we went to Stratford-Upon-Avon and stayed overnight followed by Warwick the next day, courtesy of Mr Craig. We had tea & cake in an old tearoom. How very quaint it was. As I'm writing this I'm thinking bloody Norah, It sounds like these words are being typed by an old woman! Hang on, I am old! Yikes!

Inside. So cosy! See the lady's cake on the table? Before it was placed there the staff and customers sang 'happy birthday' to her so I imagined they were singing to me haha! |
