It’s been a long year, but I was lucky enough to seize one last adventure before Lockdown 2.0–a press trip up to Stratford-upon-Avon, perfectly timed for my 26th birthday.
Stratford-upon-Avon was everything I expected it to be. Cobbled streets and Tudor cottages, and Shakespeare memorabilia everywhere! We found a lovely, independent museum, Tudor World, who told us how they’ve struggled over lockdown, but remained open to welcome in schools at discounted prices. At lunch we stopped off for obligatory tea and scones at a little family run tearoom, before perusing a couple of second-hand bookshops for hidden gems.
All-in-all, it was the perfect little birthday getaway for a literary nerd. And now for another month locked up at my desk. See you on the other side!
