Wednesday night's is bellringing practice - I have a few bellringing-related pictures in my 365-album but none actually one of practice, and this week's was quite special because there was a rather "adventurous little accident": we have a beginner ringing with us currently and normally our Tower Captain takes care of her, but he wasn't there on Wednesday and his sub didn't make a good job of it, so she lost the plot at one point and let go of the rope which then proceeded to whip through the tower wildly, like a live wire, until the bell had rung itself down. A bit dangerous, actually - it could easily take an eye out if it hits you... the situation should never have happened, but well. It was something to watch! Shame I couldn't get to my camera then - so this ordinary photo will have to do to mark the "occasion".
