Called some more plain hunt last night and rang some Bob Doubles, would like next year to get out to a few more District events but unsure which ones would suit but will continue to look #bellringing

This week our choir has been learning The Waters of Love. It's achingly beautiful, and a privilege to learn Patrick Hawes work with @benenglandbem.bsky.social at the helm. 🎶

“The waters of love, both human and divine, when mingled create the most beautiful wine”.

No Santa “Ho ho ho’s” for us just yet, but we are YO ho ho-ing our way into the week with a fun warm up! 🎶

Our Musical Director Ben, lives in Bristol... the home of the pirate voice (Blackbeard was from there you know!) & as Ben says, it’s amazing what the voice can do when you distract the brain

Our latest choral course, The Wedding at Cana, is in week 3 & we are so very lucky to be getting insights along the way from the Composer himself, Patrick Hawes. 🎶

Here’s a peek at Movement 4, in our All Choir rehearsal yesterday. Wait until the end for the exquisite voice of Lucy Cox.

The Wine Gave Out is another stand-out moment in our latest course, The Wedding at Cana by Patrick Hawes.

Here’s a little peek at our All Choir rehearsal yesterday, as our Musical Director @benenglandbem.bsky.social toasts the moment with a double water and of course, a sing through! 🎶

Able to catch up on Tutti, Week 2 The Wedding at Cana @choiroftheearth.com latest course last night, already in love with the peace as I think we all are, thanks as ever @benenglandbem.bsky.social for your teaching #singing

Would have liked to have rang something slightly more difficult last night but kept the treble steady for Bob Doubles and rang some Plain Hunt 6 #bellringing
November 4, 2025 at 2:39 PM
Rang a touch of Bob Doubles for the service this morning, one small slip otherwise quite good #bellringers

But of a frustrating night, Grandsire was a disaster, although only my 2nd attempt with bobs, Bob Doubles was really good until I had a brain freeze at the end, Treble to Bob Minor slowly getting better, dust myself down and carry on #bellringing
