Historic Bayley Lane, Coventry

The building on the left known as The Cottage was built about 1500.

Coventry Cathedral Tower, was completed in 1394

and the Spire on top was completed in 1433.

All to be found in historic Bayley Lane, Coventry.

See you tomorrow for City Daily Photo Theme Day - Entry.

Got my shot...involving a certain tree I like :).

Thatched Roof Thursday #56 - Wolvey

Holly Tree Cottage, Wolvey

Grade II Listed dating around early 18th Century.

In my mind, those beams are outstanding.

Village architecture can be mixed, as you can see

from the photo above.  

Hope you are having a good week with

a lot less rain than we are having here in Coventry :).

Chipping Campden in November...

...2011 :).

I have a file on my desktop called 'Blog Standby'.

This photo has been stored there for some time.

Since the 'Snow Gods' are completely ignoring my hopes for snow,

I could be happy for a day like this instead.

Taken in the beautiful Cotswold town of

Chipping Campden.

Wednesday, 29th Jan: Just realised that will make a nice
'C' for ABC Wednesday

Gone Fishing

Taken from the bird hide at 

Coombe Country Park.

See what could be an unattended fishing pole 

to the left of the swan?  That branch of wood

has been there for ages.  Amusing :).

Thatched Roof Thursday #55 - Whitestone, Nuneaton

This place is deceptively huge (5 bedrooms)

and it is for sale -

£750,000!

At that price I am guessing that little Fiat is included :).

If you want to see a little bit more have a look

HERE.

That's me done for the week.

Have a super weekend, stay warm or stay cool depending 

where you are!  For me, it will be - stay out of the rain...ha ha!

B Is For Building...

....one of three Georgian town houses in Coventry.

The sign outside tells the whole story.

I love to imagine how this City must have looked

before World War II.

Priory Row is just behind Coventry Cathedral.

It's Wednesday.  Hard to believe.  Sunshine today but

the dreaded rain is starting just about now.

Ugh!

Still Waiting...

...for some snow.  

This is how things were looking on this day, last year.

Today, it is sunny and just above freezing here in Coventry.  

I am thinking snow this time next week :).

Peekaboo

Yesterday at Coombe Country Park.

The reason for the title?

Have a look below :).

Have a good week!

PS.  'When' you visit Coventry, add Coombe Country Park to the list 

of places to visit!

Coventry Cathedral Ruins - Golden Glass

 If ever you visit Coventry, please

allow some time to walk around Coventry Cathedral Ruins

and look at the windows.

The stained glass that remains after WWII, is worth a look.

Correction:  That first sentence should read,

'When you visit Coventry' :).

Participating in Skywatch Friday

Have a SUPER weekend!

Thatched Roof Thursday - NOT

I have looked at so many thatched roof cottages

that I am wondering if this roof was once thatched.

An unusual design with such wavy lines.

I normally share photos of thatched roof cottages on Thursdays.
Not today.

See what I mean when you look at the

roof to the right.

Maybe somebody out there can

name the design.  In the meantime,

I'll be back next week with

Thatched Roof Thursday #55.

Location?  Somewhere near Coventry :).
