We're right in the middle of the country, the Midlands (or Midshires if you're a Tolkein fan). Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire, around 140 miles from London.

Stratford Upon Avon (Shakespeare country) is Warwickshire. There is more than one Stratford, so please make sure which one is your dad's family's stomping ground :)

I hope you can make it, it would be lovely to see you guys again xx
