Week 3 in review- Hampton, Stratford, Palpatine!

Hello Blog,
 Sorry it has been a while, too long. I've been VERY busy, mostly doing homework but also some other pretty incredible things.

So last week, I got to see my cousin Matt who took me to some of his favorite places in London, bought me a pint and taught me the rules of Rugby, and took me to a very nice dinner. It was comforting to see family, especially when I haven't seen him in so long.

On Sunday (10th) was my brothers birthday!!!

On Monday (11th) we went with Andrew (my history prof.) to Hampton Court, the palace where the tudors lived- i.e. Henry VIII, and other monarchs. It was SO cold that day, but the gardens were beautiful.

Shakespeare's Birth Home

The church where he was baptized and is buried

On Tuesday (12th) we made our way by train to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. Most famously known because that is where shakespeare was born, married, and buried.  Although the weather wasn't very nice while we were there we had a great time.

On Tuesday night we saw The Winter's Tale at the RST which was fantastic. On wednesday after visiting Anne Hathaway's cottage (No not the actress, Shakespeare's wife) we saw A Life of Galileo at The Swan Theatre starring Ian McDiarmid. It was really a fantastic show, plus Joey and I waited by the stage door in the freezing rain for twenty minutes but then I got to meet him! 

Well I'll be adding more soon... I'm trying to set up an account on flickr.com so that I can link you to all the pictures that I take without having to scroll through them all the time.

Cheers!
