Yesterday stayed in Stony Stratford near Milton KeynesStony Stratford has an exceptionally long and distinguished history. The town has always had strategic importance as the crossing point over the River Ouse, for a prehistoric trackway, the Roman Watling Street, the major London to Holyhead coaching road and latterly the A5.
Stony Stratford - 'The Town on The Road' - was where the Saxon king Edward the Elder fought the Danes. Here King John - and several successive monarchs - frequently held court. Here the funeral cortege of Eleanor, wife of Edward I, rested on its trip from Nottingham to Westminster.
From Stony Stratford Edward IV courted his wife, and it was from a house still standing in the High Street that Richard III secured the young uncrowned Edward V to seal his fate in The Tower of London. Beneath the tree in the Market Square the Methodist John Wesley preached.
The High Street still contains a wealth of coaching inns that thrived in this period, including The Cock Hotel which is where stayed...if you get a nice room the acommodation is nice and the food and service is excellent! Need to also mention the great cafe in the town..sat there for ages drinking tea and eating full english breakfast!!

Last weekend had a nice walk round Brereton Pool with Mum, Dad and ickle man...it was rather chilly!!

Midweek I went to a very nice Caudwell Charity Ball at Crewe Hall the food was yummy!! Met Huggy Bear for all you Starsky and Hutch Fans!!

Now that is serious shopping!! lol Also been for a meal with Mum & Dad and ickle man to Franky and Bennys seemed to get a huge plate of chips with my fish cakes!
