Last night I attended the Rotary Club of Coventry's Skittles night in Barnacle. :-) Great name for a village. And Skittles was great. Three variations of bowling- one rolling, one throwing, and one tetherball-esque variation. :-) My team placed second, and did fairly well on the quiz (to which I was absolutely no help- it was full of really difficult questions!). I went with the district's youth exchange student, and we sold raffle tickets. I think we sold about £80 of raffle tickets! It was a great night to see many great Rotary friends!
Today I went with a friend out to Coombe Abbey on the outskirts of Coventry. We both had been wanting to get away from the city... this was just what we needed. We walked around the grounds of this former abbey (from the 12th century), and once we had walked all that (some still had snow on the ground!), then we walked awhile on a public footpath. When the footpath ran out there was a pub just down the road- amazing how that always seems to work out when I walk on public footpaths here. :-) We stayed at the pub for awhile to warm up- it was a bit chilly today! Once the sun began to set, we set out to figure out where on earth we had walked so that we could figure out where to catch a bus home. Great day. :-)
