Do I sound like a broken record? This may be the last time I post about a quarter peal with 6 bells, as we have now almost all managed ringing one. The last time I post will be when Karen is part of the band, or a new (as yet unknown) member rings a quarter with us.
But we rang a new quarter peal today! This was exciting for a couple of reasons, besides just the thrill of ringing a quarter peal.
First, this was the first time Maggie has rung a quarter peal, ever. The first time is always cause for celebration.
Second, Maggie has been on vacation for a few weeks. She returned for a week, but has been gone essentially since 6 August. But having been gone for so long, she just stepped in and rang a quarter peal tonight. So it seems we can ring a quarter peal pretty much at will now. Which also feels like an accomplishment.
The quarter peal is listed on BellBoard.
Sadly, I neglected to photograph the band.
Great news mates! What a treat to get into the zone. Congrats on your steadiness & return Maggie.
The magic of six bells is ever-lovely.
