#callchanges

Fourth and last tower on the Middlesex Association Learners’ outing to Wimbledon yesterday, Christ Church, Colliers Wood where I had a more goes #plainhunting on bell 3 and lots of #callchanges on bell 2, 3 and 4. I even got a chance to ring down in peal on bell 3, not all together successfully but not bad considering it was my first/second time doing it and I was mostly in time. #practicemakesperfect And so many #pears spotted on the tree in the churchyard🍐 #christchurch #collierswood #middlesexassociation #middlesexringers #ringersouting #bellringing (at Christ Church, Colliers Wood) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TWg3Nnhhr/?igshid=6tkrxu8p2dlf

Joined the Middlesex Association Learners’ outing to Wimbledon yesterday. First stop, St Mary’s Church, Merton Park. Nice ground floor ring, and you can see the bells turning in the last video through the louvred windows of the #belltower. I rang #callchanges on #bell 3 and 4. All the bells are rather loud as they are right above your head, and bell 3 is very loud in the church as it is hung over the church and the other 5 are hung over the #ringingchamber. And the church is also famous for being #nelson’s church. I found his bench, which is alarmed so no sitting! #stmaryschurchmertonpark #stmaryschurch #mertonpark #lordnelson #wimbledon #middlesexassociation #ringersouting #middlesexringers #bellringing (at Church of St. Mary the Virgin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TT6cfnlFd/?igshid=1saejjtdg5hdi

I like that the ringing chamber at St Mary Magdalene, Richmond opens up into the church. And I say this every time I walk into a church, but it really was so much bigger on the inside! A couple of goes #ringingrounds and #callchanges, and a couple of goes #plainhunt. It’s coming along, slowly, but I’m still not holding up enough on my backstroke or going fast enough #huntingdown but #practicemakesperfect. A friendly band of ringers - thanks for all the support and guidance #stmarymagdalene #richmond #richmonduponthames #nofilter (at St Mary Magdalene, Richmond) https://www.instagram.com/p/By3csapHYjq/?igshid=1h6yn9zxlyvjj
