Phew!!!!

Well we had our third session of bellringing and what a session.There were only three of us trainees and two teachers,so we each got to ring for about one to one and a half hours each,so a considerable amount of progress was made by all of us.For the prevoius two lessons we had been concentrating on what is known as the handstroke and only a bit of practice on the backstroke.Last night we had the chance to put the two together,which was a bit daunting as you then have total control of the bell,which at times seems to have a mind of its own.The combined stroke is a bit like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time,not at all easy for those who have tried.Anyway it was again good fun and according to our trainers we are coming along well.I have a sneaking feeling that they may be saying that to keep us interested.
By the way Lyn and I came last in the Pub quiz on Wednesday night ,could have been due to Lyn having two glasses of wine and a strong whisky before we even got to the Pub,and the having another couple whilst we were there.Thats our excuse,but maybe the questions were just too hard for us.Anyway we staggered back up the road with our torch showing us the way,back in time to see some more of the improbable goings on in I'M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE.David Gest is class act and worth his appearance money, unlike some of the others.
