May 2012: When Diya rung my bell

After the church, we went around to see the bells

The tower is open!

Its a tiny door, I was worried, will I fit? and if i do fit, will I be able to turn? or get stuck?

Photobucket

Bloody tiny steps

Photobucket

With tiny windows

This is the bell room. This lady is explaining how the bell works with a little model.

Fascinating, I have never seen the bells like this. I always thought that the bells were actually down, but actually they are upside down when ringing. Did you know that? I didn't.

Then I reach the top.
