Today we have to wake up very soon as at eight we need to jump into the bus. During this time the squirrels take a walk on the gardens of the Fircroft residence on which we sleep. We travel with Donna to Sutton Coldfield, a town on the North of Birmingham, by train (a means of transport that is starting to be familiar for us).
We make a presentation about the life in Spain to a group of students of the university for adults in the Community Kitchen (a place on which Alan, one of the senior participants of 2013, is a regular volunteer). All of them are adults (most of them retired) and we have to thank them the great interest showed (the interesting questions that they made to us during the chat after our presentation were endless).
After this, we have lunch with them in an Spanish restaurant.

The day is so nice that we end it with a walk on the canals.

After finishing our week tasks and work in BVSC, we have a trip to the village of Stratford-upon-Avon on which Shakespeare was living and that still maintains one of the oldest buildings of Great Britain, houses made with straw and others on the Tudor style. June stays with us during the whole day.

Afterwards, we sail using a typical boat throught the canals and we visit several of the houses on which Shakespeare lived.
Back on Birmingham we watch the match Spain-Holland in a pub meanwhile we have dinner with June and her friends Caroline, Mario, Rita,...
