We went down to Startford Upon Avon for the day to enjoy the touristy sites and see Romeo and Juliet at the Royal Shakespeare company.
Sometimes Mike feels as though we have been together much longer than 2 years!:
Shakespeare's birthplace brought out the theatrical in Mike, in anticipation of the evenings entertainments!
There were a lot of interesting and original shops. One for witches and wizards. I wonder what audience they were trying to target? They did have one book that interested me though - if I'd have known about this earlier I would have bought it - I have a bun in the oven myself!
The old buildings and alley ways were really pretty even though it was quite a blustery day. What the picture doesn't capture is the guy on the other side of the door, rattling and trying to get out.
The Royal Shakespeare Company never fails to impress. I know Romeo and Juliet inside out - but they still made the characters fresh which gave the plot a slightly new spin without trying too hard. Mike and I had to proove we were there - we were backlit - it adds 10 pounds! :-)
Mike can now say that he's trod the boards at the Royal Shakespeare society - and been kicked off!
I can't believe it's been 2 years already. They have been the best of my life so far - it's great to be married to your best friend.
