There's a strange blue ball in Sheldon Square
A Boat Trip on the River, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire - 14th September 2019
We're in Stratford upon Avon for the last-ever reunion of the 69th Entry into RAF Halton's Number 1 School of Technical Training, from which Grandad and his mates graduated in the July of 1954, some 65 years ago. Before the main event - dinner at the Stratford Manor hotel - there's a boat trip which has been organised for some of the ex-Brats, although The G-Unit's recollection of the details is somewhat vague. After the short-ish boat trip, we wander down the road to see Shakespeare's grave, however there's a wedding on so we can only mooch around outside the church. It doesn't matter too much, as the weather is spot on. Before all of that, there's a bit of London randomness, a BSCC ride to Star Wing Brewery, and a stunt plane is throwing itself around the skies above the Oaksmere.

A close-up of the mystery blue ball
Ken wanders across Praed Street by Peking-Seoul
A building has foliage growing out of it
Vlad with his Peking-Seoul lunch
The stunt plane flies around the skies of Suffolk
More biplane stunt action with smoke trail
BT OpenReach has performed a stellar repair job
Phil, Paul and Suey outside Star Wing
Gaz gives it the hairy eyeball in the taproom
We visit the shop at Kettering Services
Grandad roams around
Fred carries his Lego box through reception
Harry gets the Lego out
In the hotel bar
The boys play Lego outside the hotel
We wait to cross the road by a vivid flower bed
More flowers, and the remains of a defunct BHS shop
Businesses are not shy about the Shakespeare thing
Harry and Fred face off with a couple of swans
It's all Fountain of Salmacis by Hermaphroditus
Grandad meets another RAF buddy
Grandad's name isn't on the list
A longboat pootles about
On the boat
There's green gunge stuck to the canal lock
There's a stray leg dangling down from the roof
Crowds and swans watch the departing boat
Another pleasure boat has a flotilla of swans
A swan does something weird with its beak and tongue
The rebuilt RSC theatre, disliked by Edward Elgar
There are lots of rowers on the river
Someone contemplates the River Avon (or River River)
Rowing boats bob about on the Avon
Holy Trinity Church from the river
The heavily-reinforced Colin P Witter canal lock
These swans have attitude
There's a massive swan frenzy
Former industrial buildings on Canal Basin
Thousands of feathers float on the water
A strangely-crowned K6 phone box on Waterside
Buildings on the corner of Sheep Street and Waterside
Fred walks past the 'Dirty Duck' pub
Harry looks for something
One of the unique streetlamps on Waterside
Fred takes a photo of a streetlight on Southern Lane
Another view of Holy Trinity Church
Harry pokes at some old graffiti
Murals in a park
Fred wanders around near 'The Other Place'
Fred takes photos of the street lanterns
Shakespear references are everywhere
We stop at a café so the G-Unit can get a coffee
The Jennifer May tour boat
Fred waves a book around in The Works
Grandad, Fred and Isobel in The Works
Harry is surrounded by piles of boxes and stuff
Some young lads do a Genesis number by the river
A guy on stilts waves at a cyclist
Grandad wanders through the car park
Harry and Grandad are blurs by the car
