This is a slightly different angle on the same room in Picture of the Week #581.

Next time I go to Stratford I’m finally going to stay in one of these half-timbered historic hotels. (Who knows when that might be though…)

This isn’t all that different from at least one other Picture of the Week, but I took A LOT of photos of the gardens, so there will be a few kind of similar ones as I continue to work my way through all of these pictures. (I can’t believe it’s been nearly 10 years since that visit!)

“Romeo and Juliet” in the First Folio. Photo May 2015.

This First Folio is on display at the museum next to the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. I figured this would be a good one for the start of February – one of the world’s most famous love stories for the month with Valentine’s Day.
