Friday.


View of the West front of Ely  Cathedral, and the old Bishop's Palace, Ely, taken last Monday, when  Ann, her three siblings and  their partners met up at the Old Fire Engine House, in Ely, for lunch. The lunch was as good as it always is at this establishment, and a good, sociable time was had by all.  A virtue of this establishment that I've  not  mentioned  before is that if we've  booked a  table, and (given the distances involved - turn up early, coffee is served (on the  house) until all the  others get there). It's these little touches, that all the older customers are aware of, that makes this such a popular house of refreshment. Should stress, too, that Ann and  I have been using this restaurant for somewhere between forty and fifty  years, and have invariably enjoyed it.  A lovely day out , as always.

Glad you all had fun, Mike.
Wasn't the dean due for a bit of fun today too? Let me know when you hear what happened, please.

Nice street sign by the way. Where's the cathedral?

Mike said...

Hello Crowbard. The Dean is awaiting sentence. I'll give you a ring over the weekend, probably this evening.

The Cathedral is hiding away behind the tree. Can be seen top left of picture. Would that the Dean had shown a similar degree of becoming modesty.

Crowbard said...

I suspect any modesty in the Dean's vicinity would crawl away in embarrassment.
