Ringing in the new year!

Chiming in midnight!

Just found this great image of 'Old Father Time'.

Here, in France, the two grandfather clocks, the farmhouse kitchen clock, two wall clocks and a very sad little mantle clock have all been wound and are ready to chime in the new year! The grandfather clocks (or banjo-cased clocks, as they are known here in France) chime twice on the hour.... so here, we'll hear midnight chime twice.... (and probably see it in double as well!)

Happy New Year from all at Reclamation Warriors and best wishes for 2012!
