My parents took my sisters and I to see Coventry cathedral in 1962 when it first opened. It made a huge impression on me as a 8 year old, that magnificent stained glass window still sends shivers down my spine when I see pictures of it.

That was 53 years ago, and I have never forgotten it.

We visited Coventry Cathedral today as we were in the area. I had read about it and thought I wouldn't enjoy a modernist building being a lover of high baroque and renaissance architecture but I was amazed at how emotional I felt in this wonderful space. It is so worth a visit if you are anywhere nearby. We recently went to Barcelona as DH wanted to see the Sagrada Familia and I felt more in Coventry than I did there.

On a lighter note it has one of the nicest cafes in vintage/bistros shabby chic- felt like sitting in someone's lovely warm kitchen and the cakes are really home made and original.
