I am currently moored up here at the Canal Basin at the end of the Coventry canal. The sun is shining, and people are wandering around looking at the boats and the old warehouses along the Dock. There is a ' Portuguese cafe / shop' with a couple of tables and chairs that I will most likely be visiting for a coffee soon as it's been recommended by a friend. There's also a very good 'Lithuanian / Baltic' grocery store, which we have used many times before. The Tin music venue ( formerly Taylor johns) has its doors open and folk are in and out. There's a list outside of upcoming music and film nights, then the sad bit.. Playwrights cafe has closed down .. that was one of coventrys best cafés (in my opinion), I believe that covid was the last straw. there's a sign that says opening soon, so who knows? Hopefully, it'll be up and running again before too long . Theres a few empty units 'to let' There's a bit of car parking in the middle and plenty of benches around the place, a nice place to chill & if i was an artist I'd try to sketch the interesting buildings and the pretty little gardens at the far end look nice to wander around. I'm looking forward to our 2 week stay here.
