Godiva Leaves Coventry

Godiva was a benign presence amongst us during the time she was here; today we had to say farewell to her as she set off to spread her magic to other town and cities. I had been hoping to see her pass by on the London Road, but a thunderstorn threatened and I was also unsure of the timings. So I got on the 21 bus from Willenhall Precinct and was just in time to see Godiva borne by her Cyclopedia leaving St John's Street by the Police Station.

Since I last saw Godiva, in University Square on Saturday morning, she had acquired a horse: I had earlier visions of her tramping all the way to London. The Cyclopedia moved at an amazing speed: once Godiva had turned onto the road, she was soon lost in the distance.
