Well, yesterday CTC Cambridge had a ride to Ely and a late lunch at a farm-shop / café at La Hogue Farm near Ely. Yes, La Hogue as in St-Vaast-la-Ho(u)gue where we had delightful fish'n'chips with cidre. It turns out that the original farmhouse outside Ely was built with timbers from ships that took part in the Battle of La Hogue in 1692.

An English squadron under Admiral Benbow (as in the name of the inn in Treasure Island) defeated a French squadron under Admiral Tourville, thus preventing a French / Jacobite invasion of England attempting to restore James II. Our Tomahawk lunch spot was on the Quai Tourville.
