The clock is ticking

The clock is ticking and the bell is ringing the hours every hour. What great feeling to have come this far. The Michael Hall School turret clock from 1736 runs again. Its bell can be heard on the school grounds and hopefully will not interfere with life at school and the sleep of the staff living nearby, almost directly under the clock. The clock has become a dear friend who needs to be looked after. Although it has not run in 30 years, it seems to enjoy running again. There are areas of concern, though. Wear and tear on some parts needs close monitoring. I also need to train staff to wind it.
