After we visited Shakespeare's Birthplace we went of to see the home of his sweetheart Anne.
It is such a beautiful building, again sadly no cameras were permitted so I can't show you any pictures of the inside but there is a lovely little story that one of Anne's relatives used to tell visitors to the cottage in the 1800's about one of the seats. She claimed that Anne and William used to sit on the seat next to the fire when they were courting. She used to carve small pieces of the seat off and sell them!
This window was my favourite feature of the house, the roses climbing up the side add such a romantic feel to it.
The Gardens were wonderful too.
They were based upon a 19th century country garden.
Me posing with a rather serious face.
This grosses me out a bit but I finding fascinating, I've never seen a fly this close up before. My camera is great!
A giant thistle, you can't really tell how big it is in the picture but honestly, it was taller then me!
Again, fascinating but a bit gross.
How cool is this? A giant shoe flower basket!
Sweet pea.
My favourite flower.
Hope you enjoyed!
Till next time folks,
