Stratford upon Avon

Today we made our way to Shakespeare country.
The clouds have been threatening all morning but we decided to take the chance.
Our first stop was the Stratford Butterfly Farm.  I've never seen so many butterflies in one place !  The were landing on you, sometimes I had up to 5 of them on my head and shoulders,  and they were really pretty.  We spent quite a bit of time there ... picked up a butterfly identification booklet so we can see how many of them we photographed between us.
After the butterflies, we walked over to the Avon River for a picnic lunch ... under umberella's
As soon as we finished eating and put everything away, the rain stopped ... figures.
We then took a walk around the old part of the city, stopping at Shakespeare's birthplace before heading for home.
I really nice day, despite the rain
