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

Plain hunt homework - trying to understand the theory and the process (and what I’m actually meant to be doing at each stroke) in my head so that I can just get on with doing it at practice. I found a great little book in the #belltower @allsaintschurchkingston @kingstonbellringers which I took pictures of. There is a very helpful explanation about #plainhunting being like going up and down stairs and it is finally making sense! 🔔 #bellringing #plainhunt #plainhunting #practicemakesperfect I feel like my learning has plateaued and I’m not improving, and perhaps getting a little worst, but I am my own worst critic! It certainly isn’t as easy to learn when you get older #teachingolddogsnewtricks #teacholddognewtricks 👵🏻 #kingstonbellringers #bellringing (at Surbiton) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bww8Nbfnck8/?igshid=vokrr8zljdbp
