We have a church in our village which had 5 bells from new, over the years only one was left to ring, so the village has been working hard to pay for the repairs, a new bell frame to hang them on and a sixth bell to complete the collection.
The money was raised and last summer the present Mrs Vine and myself went to the dedecation of the bells,only 5 others from the village went.
It seemed to me that not everyone is lucky enough to go to such an event, as this hardly ever happens in your life time, and after all the hard work and money, they could not drag themselves from the bloody television for just 2 hours and be part of the celebrations.
I bet they will want the bells to ring if someone from their family gets married.
Glad to see you were involved in your local church and could be part of their celebrations.
Mark.
