This place is as beautiful as it sounds. A quaint town along the Avon river, made famous as the birthplace of William Shakespeare, the famous English playwright and poet.
As the bus made its way around town, my heart started racing - it was so pretty, so post-card perfect! Our tour group only had a couple of hours there, so I didn't join my colleagues in their fish-and-chips lunch; instead I walked around town.

The shops, oh la la! Christmas is my favorite time of the year. Was sooo delighted with The Nutcracker Christmas shop -- Christmas songs playing, colourful Yuletide trinkets all over all year round.
The Peter Rabbit shop.
The shops with candies and chocolate truffles...
I bought my lunch-to-go - a cinnamon pastry and hot chocolate - at the Food for Love; the place hadn't found true love as the food was downright lousy.
We visited Shakespeare's home.
(The photos I took inside the house weren't that nice. Darn!) In the courtyard, again picture-perfect with blooms in the garden, a couple would go into a soliloquy, acting out part of his plays. Delightfully entertaining! Mario would have loved this.
I sooo enjoyed Stratford upon Avon, and I wish we had more time to explore the place. Hopefully, there will be a next time.
Here are a few more photos :
