The adventure continues-albeit at a different pace.<\/p>\n

We’ve spent time doing boat wiring (new ceiling lights in the lounge), and a field trip to Nottingham, where we explored the ‘castle’ (really the remnants of one, built upon into an estate house,since burned, then restored, now a museum!), then the city center amidst a downpour, and some of the most memorable pubs anywhere. Nottingham will merit a return visit! Pat and Kerry looked at narrowboats as well (they are ‘hooked’ on the experiences of boating!).<\/p>\n

ringing the #5 bell in Braunston, half-muffled, for Remembrance Sunday service<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve also spent time ringing, back in the area where I learned last winter, with many of the friends I have made. It is great to be back with them, and I’m looking forward to making some progress in acquiring additional skills with those that are trying to help me: Peter, Geoff, Carole, the Braunston band, and those in Daventry. I had the pleasure of ringing half-muffled today (Remembrance Sunday), which gives the bells a really eerie sound that is perfect for the Remembrance Sunday services. 10 bells in Daventry, and 6 in Braunston- lots of different experiences.<\/p>\n

We’ve also been to Coventry this week, and Northampton, all by car, as we deal with things domestic as well as exploring around us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
