Fishy Business

Short of Cheltenham photos, so instead a trip to the Aquarium at Stratford-Upon-Avon. Not really sure what sort of fish this is (Cichlid? Discus?) but it is a good excuse to show a photo that I'm quite pleased with! This photo is also to remind me that I need to get a new light for my own fish tank, as the little fishes are swimming around in the dark at the moment. I wish my tank looked as good as this one. I'm sure Phoebe may have something to say about me cleaning it out!

Also, I need to get some more Cheltenham photos taken today. Come back tomorrow to see if I manage to do any of the above tasks!

Marley In Stratford-Upon-Avon - Day 2

Here are some more photos of my family outing to Stratford-Upon-Avon to celebrate my mums birthday.

I don't know if Shakespeare kept his money here but now its a branch of HSBC.

Statue of Stratfords world famous son by the marina.

Shakespeare's house, now a museum and part of a visitors centre. Too expensive for us to visit!

People enjoying a glass of wine in the afternoon sun on a barge. What a life.

A native American pan pipe player! These guys are often seen in towns up and down the country, trying to sell a CD or two.

I hope you've enjoyed the photos of Stratford-Upon-Avon I've shown over the last few days. Back to Cheltenham tomorrow.

Marley In Stratford-Upon-Avon

On Thursday it was my mums birthday, so my sisters and I took her for a day out in Stratford-Upon-Avon. The town is about 45 miles North of Cheltenham, and is the home of world famous bard William Shakespeare. Stratford is a lovely place with the river Avon running through its heart, though it is over run with tourists. We had a great time visiting Stratford's Butterfly Farm, enjoying a pub lunch and strolling by the river. We also managed to avoid the morning showers! Today and tomorrow I'll show you some of the photos I took. Enjoy.

My sisters, who were petrified of the butterflies!

Come back tomorrow for some photos of Shakespeare. Have a good Saturday.
