Hello! It's been a fun week ringing in new places; on Tuesday I went to Offenham to join the practice with some of the lovely ringers from Evesham. The bells were great and I rang St Simon's for the first time:

Hello! It's been a good ringing week, although it started with a funeral on Tuesday in Stratford-upon-Avon. The ringing felt lovely though, and I returned that evening for Tuesday practice.

Hello! And finally, ringing again... I hoped to visit Pebworth on Friday but couldn't make that work, so the first I rang for 2 weeks was on Saturday in Stratford for a wedding. I've not rung for one there before and that was lovely; 6 of us, call changes, and a good 30 minutes of sounding the joy.

Hello! Happy Sunday :) and the first Sunday I haven't rung on for a while... I was in a village near Northampton this weekend, and the one day where the local towers weren't ringing!!

Hello, happy Sunday! Something about The Feast of Saint James, they had a big service this morning so we rang at James Garlickhythe, then onto St Magnus. And with some elite ringers in tow we had enough to do some lovely ringing; call changes, plain hunting, then finished on Grandsire Triples.
