Day 358 - December 24
Christmas Eve Special... We rang the bell for Midnight Mass but when we got there at 11pm we couldn't open the door to the tower staircase (to go up and let down the ropes) because something had fallen down inside and blocked the door. There is no other way in than the one door - or the bell hatch in the ceiling which is about two storeys up. (The hatch is the round thing you can make out at the upper edge of the photo.) Consequently, it was Sean who had to climb up the extended roof ladder freestanding against the edge of that hatch, to crawl in and then come down the tower staircase inside to remove the obstacle. I could have kicked my own bumm that I'd forgotten the camera that night (I almost always take it these days), so all I could do was take a photo of the hatch the next day, to document the event. Argh. The second photo shows the door below the stained glass window, just to give an impression of how high up that ceiling is...
