Gosh, it's been a while! I am afraid I don't seem to get much time these days to blog with regularity.

 

As anyone who knows me may well attest, I have something of an obsessive approach to things. Such was the case with bell ringing, but of late I have not been finding it very rewarding, nor have I been able to maintain the quality of ringing that I would like. There just doesn't seem to be a challenge any more, so I find myself thinking about other things and don't manage to concentrate as fully as perhaps once I could. The result is inevitable - I cock something up, get shouted at, and get annoyed with myself.

 

I have been ringing now for about 8 years, and doubt I have made any real progress in the last three of those years at least. So, I have decided to take a break from bells - a sixth month (or so) sabbatical to see if I miss it, and to see what I could get up to instead (suggestions on a postcard please!).
