Enjoyed a good old fashioned British Sunday roast dinner at the Peal O'Bells pub in Holt with a couple of close friends, who were unable to party with me on Friday night. This was washed down with a pint of very tasty real ale. Boy will I miss pubs and real beers, maybe I should cancel............Maybe not!
Emboldened by my pint I then went over to Mold to call my first quarter peal on 8 bells (only managed up to 6 previously).
Here's the entry in Campanophile (the ringers online database).

Roger Howes was away that day but would want to be associated with this QP.
Thanks to all my fellow ringers for staying on their blue lines during this nerve wracking 44 minutes, and for not thinking one of my coughs was a bob. Also thanks to Roger for sharing the calling.
