Coventry

Spent most of the day doing various DIY jobs in Coventry. Having an hour or so to spare, and wanting to not just travel to do the DIY, I braved the Ring-of-Doom that is the central road system and went to visit the cathedral as we'd done when M first arrived here.

This shot is of the Golden Cross pub, one of a number of ancient buildings, some medieval, that remarkably survived the bombing of the cathedral (and the 60's).

A14 was scattered with several accidents on the way back - mostly shunts in the queue resulting from the original accident. That one was cleared by the time I got there but it was sad to see a car sporting a P plate caved in at the back - suggesting that the ex-learner had stopped in time but the 'experienced driver' behind had driven straight in. I feel for the new driver's devastating loss of confidence now.
