Magnolia

The blip’asphere seems to be awash with Magnolia pics at the moment, not surprisingly as the trees are looking particularly nice now they’re in flower.  So here’s my contribution.  This tree is based near Stratford’s canal basin.  Cox’s Yard and Shakespeare, but not so easy to spot, are in the background.
 
We walked into town for coffee at Nero this morning; the weather being spring-like.  Town was humming with tourists.  After coffee we went over to the RSC to buy tickets for the Comedy Hullabaloo taking place in May.  I managed to get tickets for Jon Richardson in the Spiegeltent though only rear stalls were still available.
