Mila's Ely

St George's Day and everything's starting to look a bit sunnier hereabouts.

An Australian bloke tells me that last Sunday was the warmest day for seven months. That's a long winter. This picture from Ely's Jubilee Gardens shows that at least the tulips know how to find the sun and that we should follow suit.

Warner Brothers are shooting Jupiter Ascending in the cathedral. This means Mila Kunis is in town together with Eddie Redmayne and Sean Bean. It's all good for business and means that Ely Cathedral makes its sixth appearance in a major movie. Its CV is growing.

Cate Blanchett was here for Elizabeth: the Golden Age, we've watched The Other Boleyn Girl being filmed and most recently the cathedral doubled for Westminster Abbey and the coronation of George VI in The King's Speech. Sadly though it missed out on Harry Potter.

All that time ago Warner Brothers auditioned the King's School Ely  for Harry Potter. Nobody's sure to this day what went wrong but it never made it to the recalls. There's no doubt now though that the city's making up for lost time.
