Stratford - A Year On

Believe it or not, today is the first anniversary of my first chemo. We went to Stratford upon Avon last year on the advice of someone who said to make sure the day wasn't all about chemo. However, I did feel somewhat peculiar during the visit and as we've not been back to Stratford since, I decided I would like to go there feeling good. We had a glorious sunny day today, though the low sun this time of year does cause its own problems! The pictures aren't particularly good because of the glare (plus they were taken on the iPad which has a less than stellar camera), but they give a good impression of the day. Unfortunately, due to Christmas excesses, we decided to give the cream tea a miss, but that's always something to look forward to next time :o).

We also managed to time our visit to coincide with the market, joy of joys there was a fishmongers with some lovely crabs which we bought for our dinner tomorrow night. We also found seville oranges, so the next post will probably be about marmalade making!

So glad you had such a lovely day and that you are starting to put the last horrible year behind you.
