Beverly trip

Date: 28th June 2008
Venue: Beverly

We stayed overnight at Bob's house. We were blessed to have Bob's wife,
Esther prepared wonderful breakfast for us (bacon & sausages, mushroom,
tomatoes & toast)



After the breakast, we went to Hull to fetch our two sisters, Angeline
and Audrey. We have taken ages to decide where to go and finally we
we headed for Beverly.


This lane is named as Dog & Duck Lane.... hehe


Beverly High Street

After about 1/2 hour walk on the high street, we were quite hungry.
So, we started to look for food. Bobby would like to have fish and chips
but seems like Nelson preferred Subway. Finally, all of us went for Subway.
We have ordered "2 can dine" which included 2 subway, 2 coke & 2 chips.
Bobby was not quite happy eating at Subway...... haha!!!!!!!!


Audrey was still holding his Sub of the day when photo was taken

After lunch, we visited the St.Mary Church.

We were brought to ringing chamber where the chuch members
demonstrated the bell ringing sequences and techniques. Besides
than the demonstration, we did have the opportunity to ring
the smaller bell in 2 sequences taught.







After that we were brought up to the belfry where we were just in front
of the "giant" bells.
St Mary's has a ring of ten bells, the tenor weighing in at 35cwt
(Bell ringers don't do metric, but for younger, non-bell ringers, that's a
modest 1.75 tonnes!). The bells are well-known in ringing circles for
their quality and tone. They are rung for services, weddings, and
sometimes just for the fun of it.



Later, we were brought to the tower roof.
