It started with the school bell to get to class. Then it was the alarm bell as a teenager to remember to wake up.
Next it was the mobile phone dinging a message that needed urgent attention, like a text or an email that if you didn’t answer, the earth would self implode. And then the phone calls that heaven forbid, you’d choose to ignore.
And finally, that bell that signified the end of the shearing run, or even better … the end of the day.
Bells have ruled us in all kinds of ways for most of our lives. I love this one, reminding me to stop after a hard hays work, get showered, have a drink and eat tea, then put my feet up and RELAX. Now that’s a well earned feeling!
