Pebworth bellpads finished.
Lemon drizzle sponges out of the oven and cooling.
Coffee and lunch (toast using homemade bread topped with homemade mixed mushroom paté).
John Lees' Barclay James Harvest on the stereo.
An afternoon to myself in the house.
Not a bad old day.

My new Morris bells arrived today for the Pebworth bellpads. Only they're too small and don't have a big enough loop for attaching. So they'll end up as decorations.
And I've just ordered some noggy brass ones with proper attachment loops. Next up: ribbons of requisite colours.

So then. New morris bellpads. Do I go with this array (pattern repeated on the other 3 straps) or just go full on with the large bells.
I suspect the ribbons will go inbetween the straps & across the bottomas there's no real space behind the bells.
@thelloydjenkins.bsky.social any thoughts?

Does dog walking, contacting HMRC and insurance companies, and playing with Morris bellpads count as exciting?
