Holiday - Northumberland and North Wales - Day 8 - Ponteland Ringing

Northumberland and North Wales Holiday

Thursday 8th June 2017
Today it was one again raining!!  We decided we would have a relaxing day.  Before lunch we had a walk in the rain into Rothbury to go to the bakery and Coop.  We decided that we would go to the ringing practice tonight at Ponteland as we had been told it would be a good practice.  We had seen there was a Toby near there so knew we would definitely be able to find it!  I booked a table for 18:00.  During the afternoon we had any power cuts in the cottage.  It appeared to not be just us so we put it down to the bad weather.  We got ready and left to go to Ponteland about 17:15.  After the Toby we both felt rather stuffed so went for a walk around Ponteland to help dinner go down!  We sat in the church yard waiting to see if any ringers turned up.  There were quite a few people there of mixed abilities.  The tower captain ran a very good practice and had something going for everyone.  We were made to feel very welcome.  We were glad we had gone there tonight.  Back at the cottage this evening the power seems to have sorted itself out!!  The weather is looking better for tomorrow so we are planning to do some climbing.
