About Me.
My name is Ollie, I am 17 years old and live in Sussex. I have been a bell ringer since I was 8 and have always been interested in Photography and Media. In 2016 I decided to join my two greatest passions together to form the YouTube channel I have today which I have called, Ringer Ollie.
Since a very young are I have always been interested and drawn to the sound of church bells. I had my first experience of church bells, apparently, when I was two weeks old. My mum was passing a church in a little seaside village called Bosham when the bells started ringing. Apparently, the sound of the bells stopped me crying... As to how true the last part is, we will never know. I have always felt like a bit of an 'ousider', never really fitting in well. In 2017 I was tested for Autism, which it turns out I have - which explains a lot of my passions and obsessions. To me, this diagnosis has opened a new part of my life, which I am only just starting to explore. |
