First stop Stratford (this time with the full wheel) - a wander round town, a few pints, a curry, and some shopping.
On the way there we revisited Coughton Court - a beautiful tudor house and gardens - and what would have been a lovely cream tea, but for the hordes of hovering wasps!
Moved on to Cambridge on the next day - stopping in Coventry Ikea along the way for a free cup of tea, cake, some excellent views from the cafe - and (from Martin's perspective) too much shopping!
Nice evening in Cambridge - including a drink in the pub opposite my old place of work at Shire Hall.
In those days we'd go out for a lunchtime pint (although I was usually on the 'snowballs') - how times have changed!
Next morning it was wedding business with my sister (trying on her dress - no pictures allowed!) before heading on to March for the main family visit (and to meet up again with Martin - for some reason he wasn't interested in wedding dresses).
Visit to Peckover House with the folks - lovely house as ever, beautiful gardens / greenhouses . . .
. . . and some fantastic book / paper sculptures on exhibit . . .
The hotel we were staying in was another blast from the past as well - overlooking my old infant / junior school.
All in all a nice few days - time to go home again . . .
