Stratford

This is the Avon River, in Stratford.  I spent 

four wonderful days there with my good 

friend Ann.  I think we spent the first  three 

days talking!  We saw two shows, Lear and 

Dream, both of which I really enjoyed.  We

walked and ate lovely food and after so many

years of trying to snatch an hour or two, we

could just relax into one another's company.

The swans were fiercely proud of their babies, meaning

we didn't want to get too close!

Here's Ann, on the steps of the gorgeous old school

where classes are offered for the actors. 

 It was great to see Josue there, and to meet

One of the guest movement teachers, 

Frank Bach.

This dog stands like this for a lot of the day,

apparently.  If you say hello, he won't bark, but 

If you try to ignore him, he barks until you do.
