Now we are allowed to meet with three households indoors, we got our handbell band together in person this evening. We set out a large triangle with Jonathan and Angela at one vertex, Peter at another, and Tina and me at the third. With a suitable assignment of pairs (Angela 1-2 and Jonathan 9-10, Tina 7-8 and me 5-6, Peter 3-4) we had our ten-bell band.

We started with a course of Cambridge, and then another which was better. I don't ring it on 5-6 very often and found it a bit different. There are overlapping places, in 3-4 and 7-8, but in a different way than the overlapping places in the 3-4 course. Making 4th and 7th place simultaneously felt a little odd.

Inspired by our success with Cambridge, we went back to the Lincolnshire project, and got through a plain course. Later we tried Yorkshire, but it didn't go. Never mind. We are back in business. Bristol by the end of the year!
