Wait, some famous playwright worked there?

 
 Another weekend another real ale festival!  This time in wonderful Stratford-upon-Avon, at the race course.  Now that we're members, we've got to support the cause! We parked in town and took a long walk out to the race course.  When the race courses aren't being used for racing, it seems sometimes they are used for free-for-all camping; there were probably 30 or so camper vans, tents, caravans, etc.  Conveniently, the main stands also had pay-showers, which may have had something to do with it. We did not take advantage of those.  We did, however, sample the ale, had a few ploughman's, and horsed around (you didn't think I was going to pass that one up, did you?) in the windy weather.  It sure is windy on this island!

Wait, Shakespeare lived here? No way!
beer - yummm
Afterwards, some ice cream back in town

The video of Zoe is probably in my top 5. Really sums up half of our conversations...
