Stratford-Upon-Avon

Mum and dad came up for a surprise visit for my birthday on Thursday and it was so nice spending quality time together as they live 3hrs away from us. 
We decided to have a day trip to Stratford Upon Avon town of shakespeare himself as they hadn't been before and we all had a great day out.
There is so much to do in Stratford and if you haven't been yet it really is worth a visit.

The only downside was it was a bit cold so we're definitely going to plan a trip back in the summer as i'm dying to test out a row boat. 

Stratford is only 40mins away from us so isn't too far at all and what a beautiful town it is.
We popped into a favourite tourist attraction of mine the butterfly farm which is the UKs biggest tropical butterfly farm then on to have lunch at Cox's Yard and then traced down shakespeares house and the church where shakespeare and his wife Anne Hathaway were burried.

Here's some pics from the day...

The coolest Easter Bunny!

And of course no trip to Stratford is complete without a visit to Lakelands. Been looking for french fancy cases like this for ages and got some silicone mould ducks for half price £2.99, bargain!
