On a moody day in Hastings, David was sitting in a seafront shelter watching the waves. He is bell ringer at the local church. Discussing his past, he said he’s rung bells in Battersea and Putney and used to live in Shepherd’s Bush. Bell ringing is a surprisingly social activity.
Seafront shelter in Bexhill-on-Sea. Not the controversial new one (more on that later), not the listed Victorian one. The other one.
