    I drove along a road the other day and there was a sign proudly pointing out the way to " Barometer World". I resisted the temptation to divert.

    Working in the garden today and the local Youth Orchestra have been practising for their concert in the Church this evening - music whilst you work - fantastic :):)
    What about 2 hours of bell ringing practice. 😫😩
    Just a wild guess, but I suspect the church and its bell tower were there when you purchased the property.  The price of living near a church I guess.

    It’s surprising how many people do though, they love the country cottage and the little church next door, very Father Brown, Then complain.

    I don’t live near anything, just a corner of a field, nothing more.

    There's a pencil museum in Keswick, maybe you could get a discount on tickets for both. :D

    I went there years ago and found it interesting.  Great crayons to buy too.
