Just the start

of my birthday celebrations.

Yesterday we went to Coventry to see a quilt exhibition at Coventry Cathedral.  But first we had lunch at The Golden Cross.  I had Seabass with crushed potatoes, wilted spinach and cauliflower puree.  And a large glass of Merlot.

Then a short stroll to the Cathedral to see the exhibition of Alexandra Kingswell's absolutely beautiful Seeking the Light exhibtion.  It's on until the end of August so you have a couple of weeks to go and see it.

It wasn't the easiest of spaces to take photos.  I did manage some and some close ups.



After this, we wandered up to the Coventry Canal Basin to see if it had changed since the last time we were there.  It had been improved.

A statue of James Brindley.

Thanks for being here today.

Coventry

Last Saturday we went to Coventry.  It was a beautifully sunny but cold day.  I had a meeting but arrived a bit early so had a wander up to and around the ruined Cathedral.






The Guildhall


22 & 23 Bayley Lane


More of the Cathedral



Loved the blue of the sky through the leaves.

While I was in the meeting, Roger went to the Transport Museum.  Then we met up and went round the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum.  It had an excellent gallery on the history of Coventry.



In one of the other galleries was this beautiful piece.


This was the back of the upright panel.



And then we had lunch in the Golden Cross Pub.

Thanks for joining me today
