One of the many annual East Hagbourne Fete's that we attended over the 14 years of living in the village. This was taken around 1976/7.
Blewbury to Didcot
The only route from Blewbury to Didcot. Despite there being a NCN route very close by, this is the only real way to get out of Blewbury towards Didcot. Other routes are blocked by terrible roads, horse-ruined paths, and landowners refusing to allow cycle routes to be made out of footpaths crossing their land (to the NCN route).

Kirkjugarður - St Mary's Easebourne Graveyard - Church of England - Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 OAH - Gömul kirkja í þorpinu Easebourne í Suður Englandi í West Sussex. Sveitakirkja þar sem Billie Piper giftist Laurence Fox. Wedding Church of Billie Piper and Laurence Fox. A beautiful church in lovely setting on the Cowdray Park Estate. Easebourne village, is a half a mile from the bridge over River Rother on the cross-roads located in the heart of the South Downs National Park, on the outskirts of Midhurst West Sussex England - surrounded by some of the finest British countryside. Easebourne pronounced Ezborn, is a village and civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England. The village contains several old houses but they have all been more or less reconditioned or in some cases rebuilt by the Cowdray Estates. Many of the buildings in the area around Easebourne and Midhurst have these distinctive yellow window frames, which signify that the buildings belong to the local Cowdray Estate.
St Mary’s Easebourne sits at the heart of the South Downs National Park. Set in stunning countryside and within the historic village of Easebourne, the church places itself at the heart of community life. See more:
The church of ST. MARY, formerly also the conventual church of the priory, stands at the gate of Cowdray Park on the east side of the village; the tower is of rubble, the modern exterior work of hammer-dressed ashlar, the dressings are of freestone, and the roofs tiled. To a nave and chancel of the 11th century there was added in the 12th a narrow north aisle and tower. In the 13th, on the establishment of the priory, the chancel was rebuilt, the east part of the nave was enclosed by walls to form the nuns' choir, and the north aisle was widened to its present dimensions for parish use. After the Suppression in the 16th century, the roofs of the nuns' choir and chancel were removed; that of the latter was replaced in 1830 to form a tombhouse, that of the former in 1876, when its former dividing walls were removed and the present chancel and organ chamber were added. he Montague tomb-house (modern except the south wall, which is part of the priory building) has in its east wall a doorway and a three-light window in late-13th-century style; on the west it opens into the former nuns' choir by an arch of two orders, the inner moulded, resting on semi-octagonal responds with moulded caps and bases in a rather nondescript Gothic style. The marble and alabaster monument of Anthony, Viscount Montague (died 1592) and his two wives occupies the east end of this building, whither it was removed from Midhurst (and its structure considerably altered) in 1851. It is in two stages; the eastern, the higher, has three semicircular arches supporting a slab on which, before a cubical block bearing his epitaph, kneels the effigy of the viscount, bareheaded, bearded, and wearing a ruff and the mantle and collar of the Order of the Garter over armour of the tasset period. On the lower stage, west of this, rest the effigies of his two wives, Jane Ratcliffe and Margaret Dacre, in mantles and kirtles; on the front of this stage, which is in the form of a chest tomb, are their epitaphs; at each end are small kneeling effigies of their descendants, some headless.On the outside of the south wall of the former nuns' choir and nave (the distinction between them has been obliterated) is a Mass dial; west of it are a modern three-light window in 14th-century style and the remains of the original south doorway, now blocked but showing part of a semicircular arch; immediately west of this is the present south doorway, of the 13th century, formerly the nuns' entrance to their choir, having a pointed arch on plain jambs; next are a lancet window in 13th-century style and a three-light window with Perpendicular tracery, both modern.
That the original church of Easebourne was a pre Conquest 'hundredal' church, like that of Singleton, is probable from its having attached to it in 1291, and as late as 1535, the chapels of Midhurst, Fernhurst, Lodsworth, and Todham. The earliest reference to it is in a deed of c. 1105, by which Savaric fitz Cane and Muriel his wife gave the church of 'Isenburne' to the Norman Abbey of Séez. If this grant was effective the church must have been recovered by one of Savaric's successors, as in the 13th century the founder of Easebourne Priory (probably Sir John de Bohun) gave the church to the nuns, by whom it was held in 1291. There are four bells; one by Roger Landen (c. 1450) inscribed Te Deum Laudamus; one of the 16th century—sancta anna ora pro nobis; and two by William Eldridge, 1677. See more:

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
David William Donald Cameron (born 9 October 1966) is a British former politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2010 to 2016. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Witney from 2001 to 2016 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 2005 to 2016. He identifies as a one-nation conservative, and has been associated with both economically liberal and socially liberal policies.
Born in London to an upper-middle-class family, Cameron was educated at Heatherdown School, Eton College, and Brasenose College, Oxford. From 1988 to 1993 he worked at the Conservative Research Department, assisting the Conservative Prime Minister John Major, before leaving politics to work for Carlton Communications in 1994. Becoming an MP in 2001, he served in the opposition shadow cabinet under Conservative leader Michael Howard, and succeeded Howard in 2005. Cameron sought to rebrand the Conservatives, embracing an increasingly socially liberal position. The 2010 general election led to Cameron becoming Prime Minister as the head of a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats – the youngest holder of the office since the 1810s. His premiership was marked by the ongoing effects of the late-2000s financial crisis; these involved a large deficit in government finances that his government sought to reduce through austerity measures. His administration introduced large-scale changes to welfare, immigration policy, education, and healthcare. It privatised the Royal Mail and some other state assets, ...
