Coventry


Tuesday 20 July 0 miles, 0 locks.
A day in town visiting the Cathedral. The ruins of the one bombed in 1940 is a very moving place.
The new one is such a contrast. A modern design but still having all the aspects of a big Cathedral. It will be an ancient monument one day. Had an evening out with a couple of Poms who moved to Melbourne 40+ years ago. They have a boat over here and are about to build an Art Deco house in the Dandenong's. Nice couple who we expect to see in Napier next Art Deco weekend.

Wednesday 21 July. 0 miles, 0 locks.
Another day in town. The Coventry Transport museum took 5 hours to visit. Then a quick look at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. Will go back tomorrow and have a better look. Diana wants to check out the ribbon weaving and I will look at the display on Frank Whittle.
