Battenhall is a newer venture at only 6 years old, but has already won 10 Agency of the Year awards for their innovative work. They are a communications agency for the social media age.

Day 6: Alexa, play “Sugar We’re Goin Down”
Alexa, play “Sugar We’re Goin Down” by Fall Out Boy. When you think of an small town in England, Stratford-upon-Avon is what comes to mind. The timber-frame homes, small marketplace and local shops made for cute Pinterest-esque photo opportunities during our short time in Stratford. Our main experience in Stratford was to be the guided […]
Day 6: Shakespeare & Stratford
After getting breakfast at our hotel, our group started the morning off with a guided tour of Stratford-Upon-Avon. Our guide was very insightful and full of Shakespeare knowledge. She took us around Stratford-Upon-Avon, walking through parks, a cemetery, church, and up and down the main streets of Stratford-Upon-Avon. […]
Day 3: Tired But Determined
On May 7, I woke up to the sounds of the city in London (and my alarm going off a lot earlier than I wanted it to.) I managed to get ready with enough time to grab some hotel breakfast. I tried some baked beans on toast, which is something that is popular here but […]
Lovely Stratford on Avon Doth Not Disappoint
After a good night’s sleep and yet again a wonderful breakfast at our hotel, we set off to explore Stratford with our guide Vicky.

We had a little free time this morning. Jan and I walked by the water’s edge near the hotel. There was a chain barrier featuring thousands of locks. It ran all along the area. Jan and I had a quick look at the Museum of Liverpool. There was a special exhibit on about the music, […]
Finding the Real Strawberry Field: Day 7
Exploring Liverpool and the Beatles The next day we had the morning to ourselves before heading out for a Beatles Tour at 1:00 p.m. I spent the morning at a cute little pastry shop where I just reflected on the trip so far and just enjoyed a quiet morning to myself. Around 1:00 p.m. the […]
Day 6: Here Comes the Sun – The Beatles
I woke up this morning from the best sleep I have had on the whole trip so far. I got to sleep in a double bed with 3 pillows so I was well rested for our long day filled with walking and traveling. First thing, was to meet in the hotel lobby with our tour […]
Liverpool Day 2 – The Legend Continues
Today we went on a Beatles Tour, which I (along with Helen Fallon) have been looking forward to for months! I grew up listening to and loving the Beatles. My love for their music was something my dad and I shared. If I am being completely honest with you all, each of the Beatles records […]
