Surfing at Bells Beach
Att: Bsky #surfers
The World Surf League season starts this week at Bells Beach #bells
This year's roster features an athlete from !5R43L, so if you would normally watch the WSL...
...well maybe don't. And maybe get your friends to not watch as well...

This weekend is Palm Sunday.
This means that it is the one Sunday of the year for certain songs on the bells: the songs labeled in our chimers' songbook as "Passiontide".
Here's me practicing "Go to Dark Gethsemane" for tomorrow morning.

Stanion church has a tall tower and even taller spire. The nave is quite low, enhancing the effect. Viewed from across the churchyard, the tower is to the left ,the chancel to the right. The chancel has a tiled roof, the nave has 3 windows above the side aisle and is taller and has a shallower pitch, such that the roof isn't visible. Then the tower which has 3 visible stages and is topped by a broached spire. The whole is constructed of a cream stone of slightly variegated colour. The sky is blue with about half coverage of puffy clouds, the grass is a lush green, but there are no shadows, there must be a cloud in front of the sun.

This is an unusual church. The tower is to the right, the body of the church is to the left and away from us. We can see 2 faces of the tower. In 3 stages, it dates from the 12thC. The tower has an unusual pitched roof and there are only a few small windows in tower's west face. In the lower stage of the North face of the tower we can see 3 blind arches of an arcade. Of the church we can see the North side aisle and porch above wich is a short clerestory of 3 bays. The church is of a brown/grey rubble stone. The church is set on top of a slope and we can see the fields of Northamptonshire spread out beyond the church. There are trees framing the church on either side of our view and the sky is an almost cloudless blue. The grass in front of us is closely mown and slightly parched. The image makes me think of a hot August.

A band rang a peal at Wadenhoe to wish Sue a happy birthday. The birthday girl rang as well, which might be why the footnote does not give away the number of revolutions of the sun have been racked up!
