Ding Dong Merrily on High

Tonight the kids were going to see Marylon ring at St Philips in town, so I thought I'd tag along. It was rather cool. I rang one of the smaller bells, as did all the kids. Then we went up into the tower to look at the bells up close. And listen to the big tenor bell up close. That thing is *loud*!!

Then the experts (well actually I think Friday night is learning night, so not all of them are experts yet) rang some peals and changes (not sure if I'm using the correct terminology here). I was just watching them going .. ok there's no way I could be that coordinated *and* yank a heavy bell up and down! But it was cool fun to watch anyway.
