After a quick look in a pottery shop, we went looking for a laundry to do the washing. We then returned the car and went back to London. We went to see 'Singin' in the Rain' last night. It was a great show with lots of singing and dancing, but meant a late evening before an early start this morning as we had to meet up for our tour at 6.45 am. Today we travelled to Stratford-on- Avon to visit Shakespeare's birth place. He was 1 of 8 children, only 4 of whom reached adulthood. He went to London leaving Anne Hathaway in Stratford with their 3 children, but returned later in his life. He is credited with writing 38 plays. Stratford- on- Avon is a very present town on the river. We then drove on to Peterborough where we caught a train to York. We taken on a walk around the town, then I went into York Minster for a look around. There are a lot of stained glass windows, 1 as large as a tennis court ( or that's what our tour director said). There is a rose window to commemorate the victory of Henry Tudor from Lancaster over the forces from York in the war of the roses. 1 year later he married Margaret of York to link the two areas. I then walked down the streets, including the narrow Shambles. Tomorrow we are off to Edinburgh.
