Just outside Nuneaton

Yesterday my parents came to visit and found a B&B just near the canal, the road down to the canal had fantastic views over the countryside. We moored to meet them just after Nuneaton. The canal in Nuneaton was not pretty, despite looking into peoples gardens as we drove past.

The B&B my parents stayed in was an old farm house and their room décor was very nice and clean and did not look like it had been decorated for years. The room was made up to look like it would have been used to entertain elite guests in 1800's. We were lucky enough to have joined them for a huge veggie breakfast which filled us up for the whole day.

We took a visit to Coventry Cathedral which if you have not been is really worth a visit. The old Cathedral was bombed in the war and they built another cathedral next to it. – A good day had by all and looking forward their next visit.

The suburbs around Coventry seemed very run down and I did wonder how many NEET (Not in Education Employment or Training) young people there were compared to Hillingdon – thinking about work again!

We can tell that we are going further north, different accents, more fish and chips shops selling pies and my father had faggots for dinner.

My parents are on their way back home now, I think that they are enjoying travelling around the country visiting us as much as we are enjoying the year so far. Wonder where we will be on their next visit?

Matilda brought home mouse number 3. – Luckily the door was closed and as she had to meow to get in, she dropped it.

On our travels we seen many boats - I liked the name of this one
