The bells are singing!

What *is* that sound? Radio wasn’t on. We don’t have cable. … So up to the window, he made a mad dash. Looked around and threw up the sash.

When what to our wondering ears did resound, but the tintinnabulation of bells making the most beautiful sounds.

It turns out that St Martin’s church, the church on our corner, has a carillon bell tower containing over 40 bells that can (and are) played by a carillonneur.

Thanks to blogger Sense and the City, we now know a little more about this piece of our new neighborhood.

Looking forward to learning more. If we can record the chorus of the bells and post it, we surely will!





Last but not least ..

We owe you a much more detailed update of all that’s transpired – and photos of the journey – but as I wipe the sleep from my eyes this morning, I thought I would share the great news – at 12:15 am this Thursday morning (Wednesday night), Conrad and I unpacked our LAST box.

Movers coming back today to pick up the boxes (and giving us a $50 credit for getting them back, good work Conrad); Osmon ‘rents arrive closely thereafter for their first inspection of our new digs.

Progress. It’s slow-going and hard-earned, but feels to great seeing it around the bend.
