The Godiva Festival is Coventry's largest Festival of the year and is held at the Memorial Park from Friday evening until Sunday evening. ( www.visitcoventry.co.uk/Godiva ) Even though I have lived in Coventry all my life I had never ventured to this event - until Friday evening, when Andy, Kelly , Alex and myself trooped off to see some local musicians play at one of the tents. The Beer Tent always looks appealing and I wouldn't have minded going into the Comedy Tent but we were busy chatting and stuff. The evening came to a close with a fire work display - not bad as the whole weekend is FREE.

Well done Coventry - you did me proud.

Thurs: Coombe Park Walk

1-3 Coombe Abbey Country Park, Coventry.

Spent Thursday afternoon at Coombe Abbey going on a long walk with Alex, which turned out to be very enjoyable because it was nice and quiet but also very beautiful. Pity you can no longer go inside the Abbey since it is now a private hotel. As a kid I remember playing at the Abbey and trying to peer inside the dungeon but alas it's all a private hotel now!
The gardens and estates looked perfect and made the walk even better, thankfully all the children were at school so it was stress free.........
