Day 316 - November 12

You may not recognise what is shown in this photo - this is one of the big church bells up in the tower, and the clapper is half-muffled. We ring on Remembrance Day and on Armistice Day (one was on Sunday, the other on Wednesday when the wreaths were laid) but with half-muffled bells, so you hear one sound clear as normal but the other dull. So this was the "day after", when the guys went up to "un-muffle" the bells - I asked Sean to take this photo for me as it's the only way to document this special ringing...
