You Need This: Church Bells
For anyone questioning the possible missing aspects of their already vibrant life I shall provide a suggestion. Once a week at 5.43am on a Sunday morning BBC Radio 4 plays "Bells on Sunday".
Yes, you heard me right! a radio show, just under four minutes long, chocked full of hardcore church bell ringing action.
The mere existence of this programme is enough to warrant a smile on my face. For the sake of their listener figures, I beg of you, give four minutes of your time to this worthwhile cause.
Listen to some ding-dong church bells!
Connoisseurs will be pleased to know the bells this week are only a few minutes drive away from my location: St. Mary's Parish Church, Illmington - in Warwickshire. They know their bells down there, they're not mucking around!
This is fantastic! And ya-boo-sucks to the small but vocal minority who move to country villages and then apply for a banning order against the church bells because they are too noisy!
Er, does that sound uncharitable?

No, that definitely sounds about fair to me.

I live in Switzerland where at any time of the day you can hear church bells somewhere. It's been 2 years now and I'm still not tired of them. Even the 6am on a weekday ones are comforting in some way. I missed your church bells on the radio though, bummer!

Just to clear up that point, the bells are available to listen to 24/7. They update that audio link once a week.
