Sunday in Stratford upon Avon

The last festival activity was the brunch where Heidi Wheeler gave us a short preview of next year’s festival at Cincinnati, Dawn thanked those who assisted with this festival and all the raffle results were announced.

Day-4-015W

The Sashas waited patiently. Everyone else was more excited. We didn’t bring a Sasha with us so Carol has been missing a Sasha to carry around. The girl in the red dress and the long black hair is our newest addition.

There were nearly 200 helper gifts to distribute so that took a while.Yesterday I shared with you the special Gregor doll. This is a Cora with a co-ordinated red/white/blue wardrobe.

Day-3-046W

She was won by Laura Horner. Think she’s surprised?

Day-4-027W

With the festival now over Carol and I spent the remaining day exploring Stratford upon Avon. We took a boat tour on the Avon River

Day-4-050W

and browsed an open air craft fair on the waterfront.

Day-4-090W

The downside is that we really really don’t have room in our luggage for a doll and gifts so tomorrow we will need to find somewhere to pack and ship some things home for us…

Many thanks Tom for your most interesting blog describing your trip to the Sasha festival and Ireland. As I was unable to go to the festival it was lovely to 'see' it through someone else's eyes!
I also enjoyed reading about your visit to Ireland, a beautiful country. I have so far only managed to visit Dublin but its on my list to explore more. I do so hope a you had a much more relaxing journey home!

Best wishes
