The worried look reminded me how I felt the first time I had nearly a ton of bronze balanced high above my head in a medieval church tower in Norfolk - you hoped they knew what they were doing back in the 12th and 13th century.​
 
This is such a funny story you're associating with this photo! :D
And it's such a cute photo. Perfect focus, wonderfully blurred background (with the best colour possible!) - and have you been a bell ringer? Ever?

Yes - as they say in Naarfulk - I were laarned on tha bells in Addlebura (Attleborough). The Parish Church has a large East tower which before the reformation was the central tower of an "Abbey" church. The town bought the tower and nave to save it being demolished with the choir, sanctury and monastic buildings, so now the altar is under the tower. I had to get my CO's permission to become the Church secretary (about half the age of the rest of the Church Council) as I was a RAF Officer at the time, living off base.
