Small but perfectly formed rabble of 7 with @GrimsbyRingers tonight - pleasantly surprised by a good practice after having August off, although I did somehow manage to fumble the sally and subsequently jab myself in the nose ("Am I bleeding? I think I'm bleeding")

As per @5040Grandsire's suggestion, we tried ringing the front 5 and back 5 as a 10 at Saffron Walden last night. It is indeed a musical combination, but a little hard work round the back if the front 5 go too fast!
Because the highlight of #bellringing practice is playing The Price is Right with the call change teaching aids while our esteemed captain tries to explain Plain Bob to someone (and gets clonked on the back of the head with the cards ๐คฆโโ๏ธ)
Aaand another one (and I absolutely did not almost throw up in the third extent)
(And I also absolutely did not try to make long fifths in Grandsire 2 leads from the end #brainfart)

We did this as part of NB quarter peal month. Well done to Jay ( a day belated happy 18th) and Roy. Really good speed. Very enjoyable๐๐

We did it! Well done to KG who was dragged in at last minute. He enjoyed it that much we are now doing 2 more quarter peals this week! Hoping to have more ' firsts'. Really lovely ring. Thankyou

We did a thing. It was false. Boohoo.
(You know something isn't right when the conductor hisses "shit!" about 39 minutes in when things seemed to be going lovely and there were very few hiccups) #bellringing
Womenโs Place in the Belfry. A stunning letter printed in @theringingworld in 1956.
Dear Edna, clearly a much better ringer than her husband, but to whom milk bars were dens of iniquity.
10 for Remembrance Service ringing today with @GrimsbyRingers (one insisted on taking the photo instead of being in it ๐คฃ). Sunday challenge though: one of us is ex-forces. Just from footwear, guess who? ๐ #bellringing
