I don’t know what I’m finding more jarring: Tom in my hometown, or a lowercase video title

For those who are interested in trying out bell ringing after this please go and ask at your local towers - many of them will be more than happy to teach you and some places have their own schemes. In a lot of places the local ringers tend to all be 60+, meaning that if they don’t get any younger learners in then in a few decades there might not be any ringers in some places.

As they are everywhere you do often forget how impressive church bells are.
@
There’s is a shortage of bell ringers across the country and the world. If you’d like to have a go, please go and find your nearest church with change ringing bells on their practice night and ask to join them

Suffolk Guild of Bell Ringers is actively looking for new ringers.

Memorising all the bell work in just 1 hour before the big performance is like you didn't study for the exams the night before so you gotta cram 8 textbooks on the bus ride there, while supposedly also chewing on your pencil(s) for stress relief until they disintegrate into wood pulp and soggy lead.
@
Bellringer here, I can guarantee newcomers will be welcome at almost every tower that has a band of ringers.

Having broken some, now Tom uses them for their intended purpose.
@
With this video it'll be a lot more than 50,000
@
id love to be living there and going "huh, the bells sound a bit off today"
@
I would have saved this as the finale to the series so it began with bells being made and ended with bells from that foundry being rung.

"okay fine you win here's the bellringing video" was a glorious title. I will miss it.
@
Those bells were made 98 years before Tom visited the foundry ... Which explains why so few foundries are left
@
Tom: fumbles something he seems to be supposed to be good with, then quietly moves away like it's a sin to have inconvenienced everyone

I have never felt so represented before

"That scares the-" (remembers he's on video in the top of a church) "-life out of me."

The man with Parkinsons is very correct, the physical and mental work will absolutely slow the progression of neurodegeneritive diseases. Wish the best for him, abd that he can keep it ringing for years to come.

I’ve just rang my local church to enquire about bell ringing - they said to go down tomorrow and they will show me the ropes

This video might seem familiar to most of us.

Because it rings some bells.
