Days in the Sun!

Last few days of our holiday, and we were off to visit family - with a stopover in Stratford on the way.

The weather was still beautiful, and the drive through the Welsh countryside was stunning.

Along the way we also took the opportunity to revisit Brockhampton Estate - just as picturesque as we remembered, but so hot!

It felt even hotter when we got to Stratford - and our Travelodge was baking (no air-conditioning), although they'd done their best to keep the room as cool as possible.

At least by the evening it was a bit fresher outside, and we had a nice walk along the river - enjoying some the cooler air before we had to return to our Travelodge oven!


The next day we were moving on to visit family, where (thankfully) our room in the local Wetherspoons had air conditioning!


Wandered round the old home town (a walk or two might have taken place during World Cup football matches!).

Also took the folks for a sunny day out to the Suffolk village of Lavenham - very picturesque with its half-timbered medieval cottages and historic Guildhall:

All in all a nice (if rather hot) end to the holiday . . .
