Excerpt of a Quarter Peal of Plain Bob Caters from Canterbury Cathedral, Kent

[@Steven_Rowe]

Jake Sorry to hear about your dad, life is full of stress and I wish it wasn't,but it is these challenges that in many makes up and refines our character. Canterbury are a fine 12 and I think the 10 are beautiful. I always love the sound of a 10 Also the light 10 are so sweet to ring. In Sydney we have a carbon copy of the 12 plus extra treble and flat 6th so to hear Canterbury and St Marys is the same. My Dad hung the bells in 1986.

Thanks, life really is! It's bloody horrible to get a phone call about that sort of thing late at night. One of my biggest fears honestly. I remember you saying. Both twelves are very fine and frankly I feel really lucky to be able to ring on the bells at Canterbury. They're really rather rewarding and sound magnificent. If ever you're in the UK again, you must come and ring at Canterbury! The ringing chamber is much smaller but the sound of the bells is incredibly clear.

I am very happy to hear that your father is recovering and I hope he regains as much health as possible! This is a wonderful achievement for you: congratulations for finishing an important part of university and for ringing these great bells!

[@RingerJake]

Really so do I. Seeing him washed out and tired all the time is quite distressing so I just hope he can regain strength. Thing is it was a STEMI heart attack so it was really really bad. Just hope he isn't left like this. Thank you. I'm going to hopefully do a Master's as well so not done quite yet on the uni front. Just got to hope the results pay off...!

@@RingerJake I wonder if you can activate "Thanks"- donations in KZbin. I heard that KZbin wants to free this option sooner for small creators. - Good luck for you and your dad!

So happy for this achievement! 😁😁

[@RingerJake]

Thanks. Trust me, so am I!

Very sorry to hear about your father. Thank God he is recovering. Great ringing by the way.

[@RingerJake]

I'm glad he is as well. He has to be around for my graduation in a few months...! Thank you! It was honestly a fantastic quarter peal to be a part of. It did not feel like 49 minutes of ringing at all by the time it came around. It felt more like 10-20...!

Very well done

[@RingerJake]

Thanks Freddo!

[@zacharychiu8749]

Oh dear! I hope your father is better now. Gorgeous ringing. What an achievement :D

[@RingerJake]

Steadily getting better, though he's very tired and washed out all the time at the moment. Thank you. I'm really proud of the quarter peal. I'd only done Doubles and Minor inside before this so a jump straight to Caters is HUGE for me.
