Welcome to the new Blog about life in Stratford Upon Avon

I don't know what has really made me do this ..but one of my favourite Blogs ..Stratford Upon Avon "A Town goes Down" has recently (yesterday) disappeared into the ether along with its author "Lawn Greengrass"..Hey Lawn if you are reading this you did a sterling job and your blog will be much missed..

Anyway for those of you that don't know..Stratford Upon Avon is a (growing) town in the Midlands in the UK where allegedly William Shakespeare was born and lived for a while before heading down to London to top up his income..For this reason in the summer and for most of the year it is thronging with tourists of all nationalities who we are very happy to part with their money..Everything is Shakespeare in this town, whether a tourist centre, a hi fi shop or even the Bard ( as he is known around here) has his own carpet cleaning business named after him...

The locals are quite nice but unfortunately we are ruled by inept and in the main Little England councillors who have allowed our town to head off into a seemingly never ending decline over the last 15 years..Still more of that over the coming months
