The Angelus rings again in Saint Romain

This was my best intangible and lasting Christmas present of 2011. The bell had been silent for more years than I care to remember. For some reason the commune chose this year to authorise the repair of the automatic mechanism and so since Christmas Eve the Angelus has been ringing out, as it always used to, three times a day -at 7am, noon and 7pm.  I cannot think of a bettter way to be woken up each morning! Deo gratias.

Happy New Year everyone!

How wonderful to have the Angelus bell! Would that we could have it in my part of England - or any part of England, come to that! This is very good news, Jane, and it must have made your Christmas.

Love and prayers always!
Mary
