Yay! Ringing!

Went ringing tonight for the first time in ages (barring 20 mins in Cambridge on St James' day).

I'd forgotten how enjoyable it is. Didn't do that much -- couple of lots of Bob Doubles,* some rounds on 6 and some rounds and calls on 10, but hopefully I'll get to do more in coming weeks. There were 18 or so there which is more than I was expecting, though only about 3 of them were actually locals (/Sunday ringers at that church).

Four cathedral ringers there including two from the family of 4 kids and 2 parents who ring. One of whom, the youngest, has aged about 3 years in the year since I saw him last. He was a kid last time I saw him and now he's a young man. He's turned 16 in that time, but still. I barely recognised him. Though that was true of some people who'd seen him last week as he's had a hair cut (probably a number 2).

Then pubbage, although the first attempt a Wetherspoons weren't letting under 18s in so we had to go elsewhere for our beer and cheese.

*Doubles?????? I've rung that about once in the past 4 years having done much more minor and some major, but I remembered long fifths!
