The Bell Ringers

I managed to take this photo of the ringers as they waited on the porch of Christ Church for the wedding to finish. Then the bride will come out and the church bells ring out. I asked how long they ring for- the chap on the left, who comes in from Orpington, said about thirty minutes which sound like very hard work.  I love the sound which deafens the locals and has John either rushing to get up or putting his head under the blankets.  The sound makes me feel happy and as is the church is looking after us and God is lurking in there somewhere and shaking the bells to tell me 'I'm here!'.
