Any #Ely #Cambridgeshire people around on here? It's my wife's birthday in a couple of weeks, I'm trying to decide where to take her for dinner. Haven't tried many of the restaurants in town since moving here so I'm looking for suggestions. Piccolo Lounge looks like the frontrunner at the moment.

11 Jan 1614: b. Peter Gunning, future bishop of #Ely at Hoo St Werburgh, #Kent #otd (St John's College, #Cambridge/NastyTroll)

Gunning defended kneeling at communion against Richard Baxter.

Meeting Tonight
Thursday 22nd January from 7pm.
The Royal Standard, Forehill, Ely.

Do you live in or near Ely in East Cambs?
Have a bit of a lefty, liberal, wokey, progressive bent?
Fancy a natter with like minded souls to find a bit of light in these dark times?

Then come on down and say hi.

In #Ely the bit trapped between the river and the railway line used to be called Babylon. Not sure if it still is, but the bridge to it is still called Babylon Bridge.

Bright, chilly and clear in the fens today. #ElyCathedral #Ely #Feniverse

The moon and Ely Cathedral and a big blue fenland sky.

From my journey to #Cornwall/ #Kernow yesterday, #ElyCathedral through the train window, approaching #Ely from the north.

Ely Cathedral photographed through the window of a train en route from King's Lynn to London Kings Cross. This is particularly clear image of the cathedral, including its unique feature, the octagonal tower (which dates from the 14th century, somewhat later than the rest of the building).

Out of the blue there's been some renewed interest in the group. Our email group has flickered back to life and we're considering having meetings in the New Year.

If you live in or around #Ely and have a progressive leaning then watch this space.
