Postman Pat meets the church clock

So there you have it. Postman Pat parked next to the church in very French France. The photo is taken from one of the bedroom windows - and yes, the church is that close - and yes, the clock chimes every hour. In fact, it chimes each hour twice. So at ten, for example, it chimes ten, pauses, than chimes ten again. (And it's loud) I know! That's what I thought. Then, as if that were not enough, at seven in the morning, mid-day and seven in the evening, it does the 2 x seven/twelve chimes, then does extra dongs in a 'dong-dong, dong-dong, dong-dong', sort of a way.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about all this is that Lisbeth loves the clock and says that she knows she's home when she hears the first chimes.
