Ely Eel Festival

I met my dear chum Nadine in Ely today to have a browse round the shops and a gossip and it also happened to be the Ely Eel Food and Drink Festival. 

So we had a browse round all the stands and got gourmet hotdogs, there was lots of eel themed food that we steered well clear of. 

And focaccia mmmmmmmm, we came back by the bakery stall a few hours later and almost everything as gone. We tried samples of different things like chilli dip, elderflower presse, fudge, cheese.

We kept spotting ducklings around the cathedral too who were super cute. 

Then I had a cream tea, Nadine had some quiche and then it was off to the shops for a browse and a gossip. 

Hurrah for lazy days... also hurrah for not trying any of the jellied Eel fudge... ew. 

Henning Wehn & Ely

The boyfriend and I spotted a comedian we thought was particularly funny on QI the other day, Henning Wehn, and decided we'd look into going to see him, we'd missed his Norwich tour date so we decided we'd take a trip to Ely to see him, and made the obligatory tour to the cathedral which was HUUGE but other than that not all that interesting. 

Henning Wehn on the other hand was hilarious, he's a German comedian and is well worth a visit if you see his tour coming up near you. And I got a free pen, woohoo. 

In other news I've started my second placement and so far so good, everyone very nice and this time I don't have to travel so far or stay away so that's a massive plus!
