P. S. TO PREVIOUS POST

Today I had occasion to go into one of the cathedral offices, and the person there was watching a video of the hanging of the bells on her computer. I asked when it had been done as it was only three days since the blessing. She said, "They finished about an hour ago." There was a huge crane moving slightly back, and then I heard a deep "bong", and she told me that as each bell went into the tower it was struck by a 2 x 4 to check it out.

I asked who was up there in the tower hanging them. She replied, "The bell hanger... from Whitechapel; he came with the bells." I guess we send him back. I told her I'd been wondering how they would be hung, who could do it. I mean, do we just go online to DIY for directions on how to hang a ton of bells? Now I know, and so do you.

Can't wait to "hear dem bells." Guess it will be Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day. Advent will seem really long this year.
