Today is my attempt to bake sourdough in the @lecreuset.bsky.social bread oven. The sticky stuff has made it as far as the proving basket.

How exciting is this, a present for my fountain pen.

Has to be the most pleasing quarter ever, suddenly the planets aligned and a quarter peal occured. @tiedbell.bsky.social, an awesome performance on 3-4. Incidentally I was stuttering over saying “go Plain Hunt” At juniors last night.

Failed to get a handbell quarter peal this morning, then unexpectedly rang one. 🔔🤷‍♀️

It’s so sad.

We were few in numbers at South Walsham but made up for it with focus on control. Striking and perfecting handling. Then did some wonderful PH!! We drank eggnog and ate cake. Gerald delivered our Christmas Cards. Look at this..he painted it!!!

Very pleasing. I approve of the #NCFC scarf. And hand bells too. I sometimes feel handbells are sewn to my hands.

Decorating the tree for the Christmas Tree Festival. That’s after I’d done my prep. Some super ringing this morning alternating CC with Plain Bob Minor and we braved a touch. Over coffee we discussed dog breeding, horse breeding, how much electricity you need to play the organ and tax returns.

Yes i believe he does. I’m not a local to Wymondham but it’s not far. They are super bells. 🔔Thank you.

Cake! Tomorrow is the Mancroft Ringers’ coffee shop. 10:30-12:30.
Ringing in MRDC from 9am. We have our Plain Hunt Skills followed by at 10:30 Surprise Major.

A trip to the tall tower. Very much enjoyed it and chuffed to bits to have called it. What’s next I wonder?

Not many of us have called a quarter at said scary tower. I think there might only be three of us. 🤷‍♀️
