Very good practice this evening. Just the nice of us, but earned a chocolate for both my Stedman doubles and Kent treble bob minor inside. Also very pleased to treble bob Cambridge major for the first time. Well deserved post ringing beer 🍺🙂

Lovely ringing this morning. We has nine in the tower and rang call changes and Grandsire Triples. Some very welcome rain on the walk to the tower as well 😊

@matthewtosh.com Matt well done on the day, but I’d just like to say how inspirational that chat with the young ringers was. Play that clip out to the wider ringing community and it would help in understanding how to engage with young people and grow ringing. What a fabulous group.

@gregjenner.bsky.social I know you’re always interested in AI and the energy it uses. I’ve just spotted that if you end your google search with ai then it doesn’t do the AI response, it says An AI Overview is not available for this search and gives a standard reply.

The problem with being drawn last, was that all the best cake was gone. So no picture. Next time

Just six of us this morning so we rang 240 of Grandsire on the back six. Sounded glorious.

This is great. I tried it out.

The saying "you can't blow into a hamster's ear" is a playful idiom that means something is impossible or nonsensical. It suggests that the action described is illogical or impractical, similar to trying to perform a physical task that is physically impossible.

Good practice this evening followed by the correct amount of beer. Call changes, Stedman Doubles, Cambridge Minor, PB doubles and minor. All pretty successful

We had 10 this morning. 10 minutes of call changes and an excellent touch of Stedman. Happy Easter all.

Holy Week, so we got together to practice handbell ringing. So pleased to have rung my first touch of plain bob minor…what a mental workout. Good Simnel cake as well.

Fun practice this evening with many people away meant I got to focus on Stedman doubles with three attempts of two courses improving each time..very happy. Others also rang Yorkshire and Cambridge spliced and I got some treble bobbing to Cambridge and some Grandsire doubles. Great fun

Very good practice this evening. I got to practice Stedman doubles twice and that is going really well, as well as my first attempt at triples. We also rang Grandsire triples and Yorkshire Major. All good fun 🍻
