Weekend in Ely

Just back from a weekend in Ely visiting Caroline and the girls. We arrived on Friday afternoon for the opening of Cafe Ely, the Cafe in Spa Ely, before going over the road for a very nice meal at The Royal Standard.

On Saturday, we had an invitation to a 60th Birthday party out in the Country near Newmarket, courtesy of Caroline's friend Ian who was drumming in the Birthday boy's band (Granite - Old, grey, rock!). A great evening with a marvellous location and food, and lots of fun dancing to some old tunes.

On Sunday, Ian cooked us all a great breakfast, before we headed home. A selection of photos are below, but all of them are here:

Photos from weekend in Ely

Rock and Roll!!

A few garden photos

Just a few photos from this morning...the squirrel resting on our fence, and rain droplets on the fig tree's leaves.

Family round for my Birthday

To celebrate my birthday yesterday, we had the family round for dinner. As it was a still humid day we were able to sit in the garden. Unfortunately this weather also told all the ants it was time to leave the next, so for an hour or so there was a swarm of flying ants.

Just walked past the Lego bus stop outside Hamley's

Tour de France

A few fuzzy photos taken through the office window today as the Tour de France went past.

In the garden

Been out in the garden today, and took some photos including this inquisitive robin check that kept hopping around us.

Happy Flowers

A few photos of some happy looking flowers we've got in the living room!

All that scratching is making me itch...

We went to The Red Lion in Leytonstone for a few drinks and a meal. Unknown to us, yesterday was the Elements Hip Hop festival, with a lot of 'Old Skool' music and dancing...nobody fancied busting any moves after having eaten a pulled pork burger, chips and onion rings though!

Siw and Family staying with us

Siw, Olav, PK and Mette were staying with us this week before and after their trip to Edinburgh to see Jens, some pleasant evening weather meant that we were able to sit outside and relax.
