A Happy New Year to all. On the day before New Year's eve we were at the Kings Arms again - this time with Olly, Sally, Noah, Anna and Libby, for a splendid lunch (see photo). It was a very wet day so we could not do the treasure hunt round the village and came straight back to Pippin Cottage to play hide and seek, Pictionary (again!) and UNO. Next day Jenny and I went to Bristol and explored the ancient Cathedral, the city museum and the M Shed (a new exciting museum). Then we went to a party at a neighbours with a lot more bellringers and their partners before we all made our way down to the Church to ring out the Old Year with muffled bells. At midnight we took the muffles off the bells and rang in the New Year loud and clear. Then we had a few glasses of phizzy wine - it was all great fun. That's me in the orange jumper ringing my bell - I must go on a New Year diet and get rid of that excess weight!
