Today we remember the tragic events of the Coventry Blitz.

We remember all those who lost their lives, and the impact of the Blitz on our city.

Coventry was changed forever.

Lest We Forget.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Peace is such a precious thing.

We spent an enjoyable couple of hours at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry for the Book Extravaganza event today.

Lovely to meet Ken Bonham and see his model buildings. We had to come away with his book, which features The Weaver's House - and it is always a pleasure to chat with Scott Duffin!
