Wednesday we flew from Girona to Birmingham without any problems and picked up our rather tinny hire car which had a large burn in the carpet on the
driver's side. Went straight to Mum's from where we went down to the local pub for something to eat. Sadly, the meals haven't become anymore interesting since the last time we were there. Thursday, it was off for a dress hunt to the country park in Evesham where I'd been sure that I would find something. Before you start thinking green wellies and tweeds,there are a number of shops, one of which sells end-of -line fancy clothes. Every other time we've been,I've seen things and thought "that would be just right for a special do" but Sod's Law, this time there was nothing. The coffee shop and restaurant was jam packed so we fled with empty hands to find something to eat in a little Cotswold village pub. There was a pretty garden but Sod's Law agin, it was too wet and cold to take advantage of. However, there were no complaints this time about the creativity; price and quantity perhaps .... am I difficult to please or what ... well, you all know the answer to that!
In the evening we had a meal at Chris and Rosemary's along with John, Jill and Mum and there was no way that we could fault the portions or the taste. Sheperd's Pie with lots of veg followed by rice pud. Can't remember when I last had either. Friday we set off to Stratford again in the rain, again in search of a dress but once again I didn't find one. All the shops were at the tail end of the sales so it was all a bit of a waste of time. Had lunch in Morrissons and Mum did her weekly shop so at least someone was happy and on the way back to the car I snapped this photo complete with a couple of swans. What would Stratford be without its swans, oh yes, there is that man Shakespeare and an eyesore of a new theatre that's being built.
