There's meant to be a nice cafe opposite Booths in that yard place......

I love Ely. I've cycled there a few times, but always as part of a hundred miler. There's always the problem of what to do with your bike if you want to go into the cathedral to gaze up at that amazing octagonal lantern tower, and sitting by the "canal" (I think it's the Ouse), watching the narrow boats and enjoying a cuppa and slice of fruit loaf is so relaxing, knowing that you've got the Fens to come. I always get a puncture in the Fens. It's just a question of "where, this time". Happy days.......

Tell me about it - Ely is a bit thin on bike rack front...

But it's an amazing place to have on my doorstep and there's some lovely cycling to be had around here.

I fished indoors to get my camera, tried taking a picture and discovered that the battery was flat . After all the rushing around finding a charger , I finally went back to the pond to discover it hadn't moved . It was an empty !

Ahhh but then....

surely the man would have more success taking a picture with a camera than using a horse, no matter how small

Did we mention we went here?

They still make Gin, but their Whiskey is getting close to maturity. The lady by the barrels is pointing to the cask from the first runs purchased by her uncle £10k or £25 pe bottle from it :-/

The evaporative chiller for the tonic water ( a wet flannel and a bathroom basin ) has been a limited success.

On the ferry from Harris to Bernaray.

Stunning day today.

Soak a terracotta flower pot, put the bottle in there, and leave near an open north-facing window.
