I forgot to put into yesterday's notes, this picture of a resident near the cathedral(s) here in Coventry. He seemed to be extremely tame and on spotting a new tourist (such as us) rushed up to our feet to see if he could get any food from us. Sadly we didn't have anything for him so he rapidly lost interest, but I did succeed in getting this photo of him:
Wednesday morning dawned wet. We braved the rain to wander into the town again though, this time the Museum of British Road Transport was open so we spent some time seeing the vast range of exhibits from penny-farthing bikes through to the Thrust SSC, the first land based car to break the sound barrier:
and from the Model-T Ford to a 1991 Baltic concept car:
After a nice coffee and doing a minor shop in Sainsbury's, we got back to the boat where it continued to rain.
But eventually it brightened up so we set off, but not before Barbara insisted on a photo of one of the canalside sculptures. It may not be obvious at first, but the top part is made up of a barrow, spades, etc, and as you can see, it's sunny.
And after motoring on for a bit (hindered by yet another load of rubbish around the prop) here we are for the night in a nice open spot where we should get the morning sun if there's any to be got:
