Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

I seem, like everything else, to be a center, a sort of vortex, at which the whole energy of the universe realizes itself. Each and every one of us, not only human beings but every leaf, every weed, exists in the way it does, only because everything else around it does. The individual and the universe are inseparable.

We walked all of the route although not from A to B because we ventured into town for lunch before returning to the route.

The American Fountain – Stratford-upon-Avon

The American Fountain is a favourite focal point in the town’s marketplace, and its creation brought together an unlikely mixture of people. It was intended as a tribute to Queen Victoria, whose Golden Jubilee was being celebrated, to Shakespeare, and to the relationship between the USA and England. The fountain is heavily decorated with quotations and sculptural details which enforce these messages.

More information about the memorial fountain can be found here.

The Wanderer Returns

I have returned from a weekend break in Stratford-on-Avon where the weather was unseasonably kind to us. I am now juggling organising my photos around Christmas preparations.
