Destination Stratford

This was our ultimate destination for our two week Holiday. At the start of week one it was looking unlikely we would get there after a two day down pour forced the Avon navigation Trust to shut down the River to all boaters. Luckily we had for seen this and headed up the River Severn to Worcester. A lot of people ended up stuck on their moorings for days on end until the River level dropped. After the rains stopped we were treated to 8 days of glorious Sunshine.

This is Abbey and Ben having a little celebration at our mooring opposite the Royal Shakespear Theatre in Stratford. A few 99 pence glowsticks provided the effect.

Looks like you did the best thing to avoid getting stuck for days, Kevin. The kids are pretty excited too :o)

Its great when you second guess the weather and win.
We made a mad dash to Lyon this year away from thousands of wet campers in Northern France
