Amongst the bats in the belf ry
Hi everyone,
I wondered if there were any other bell ringers in the PHA UK family? My ringing hobby started back in the Millennium Baptist Church in Billesdon, Leicestershire. I wou at St John The as a very good ringer, but I enjoy the friendship,ld not class myself and the exercise is good too.
u also If, like Lois, yo ing, enjoy bell ring ow kn s please let u by emailing org office @phauk.
I was diagnosed with CTEPH in the summer of 2012 my specialist centre soon had me sorted out wit , and the team at very lucky that I am not too debilitated by PH h medication. I am and can carry on my active life almost as before. There are 29 stone steps up a spiral staircase to at church – nowadays I do have to hold tight toour ringing chamber my time to go up! And I need to allow about fivethe rope and take breathing to get back to normal when I reach the minutes for my friends remind me to take a breather between top. My ringing the sets of ringing, and so I am still able to enjoy it. So [before the pandemic] on Friday evenings and that’s where I could be found – amongst the bat Sunday mornings s in the belfry! Best wishes
