[한국어 정보]
영국의 대자연을 뒤로하고 나는 유서 깊은 어느 지방 도시로 향한다. 혁명과 순교자의 도시 ‘루이스’ 이곳엔 과연 어떤 흥미로운 스토리들이 기다리고 있을까? 우선 마을의 중심부부터 살펴보기로 했다. 마을의 중심거리에서 마주한 건 청동색의 거대한 조각상이다. 처칠 수상의 이름까지 새겨진 이 아름다운 조각상은 호국 보훈의 숭고한 의미를 담고 있다. 조국을 위해 헌신한 이들의 이름들이 위령비 양 벽면에 촘촘히 박혀 있다. 오늘의 조국을 있게 한 이름 없는 영웅들을 결코 잊지 않는다. 범상치 않은 마을을 본격 탐방하기로 했다. 고풍스러운 거리 주변의 가옥들이 눈에 띈다. 고서적 가게에 들렀으나 주인은 한사코 촬영을 거부한다. 주변에 문득 ‘토마스 페인’ 이름이 시야에 들어온다. 미국 건국의 아버지라 불리는 그는 혁명의 도시와 잘 어울린다. 그가 한때 살았던 집은 기념관으로 보존되어 있으나 생각보다 초라했다. 발길을 돌려 돌아보던 중 눈길을 잡는 또 한 곳이 있다. ‘천일의 앤’ 스토리의 주인공, 앤 공주의 조그마한 박물관이다. 당시 헨리 8세 왕의 두 번째 부인이 되었던 앤 공주는 천일을 채 못 채운 왕과의 비운의 사랑으로 우리에게 알려졌다. 여러 여인을 사랑한 절대군주, 그리고 순수한 처녀에서 권력의 맛을 알아버린 왕비의 비극, 자신의 남편으로부터 처형을 당하는 사연이 나온다. 기념관 뒤뜰의 풍경이 예사롭지 않다. 나는 다시 마을의 풍경을 따라나선다. 어느 이름 모를 정원의 꽃들이 무척이나 화사해 보인다. 누구나 출입이 가능한 공공 정원, 사람들의 일상이 무척 평화롭다. 얘기를 나누는 모습이 무척 정겨워보인다. 이토록 아름다운 자연 속의 삶은 분명 축복이다.

The nature of the UK and I headed back to the historic city of any province. Will the city of revolution and martyrs 'Lewis' in this town are really waiting for any interesting stories? First it decided to look at the heart of the village. A giant statue of a bronze gun facing away from the center of the village. This beautiful statue carved by the name of Churchill, the Prime Minister holds the sublime meaning of the Veterans Agency. Their dedication name for their country are stuck closely to the amount memorial wall. One of the unsung hero of the day so the country never forget. The unusual authentic village decided to explore. Quaint houses surrounding streets are noticeable. Goseojeok but stopped by the store owner refused to hansako shooting. Suddenly, Thomas Paine 'names are creeping into view around. Founding Fathers of the United States go well and he called the city of the revolution. The house he lived in humble than I once was, but is preserved as a memorial. There is another place to catch the attention of bodeon returned back to visit. The 'Anne of the Thousand Days small museum of the protagonist, Princess Anne's story. At the time this was the second wife of King Henry VIII and the princess became known to us in love with the King of clearing filled not holding one thousand and one. Absolute monarch who loved many women, and the tragedy of lost flavors out of power in the virgin queen emerges a story of being executed from her husband. The back yard of the memorial landscape is extraordinary. I sets out again along the landscape of the town. Which they do not know the name of the flower garden and looks very bright. Anyone can access the Public Garden, everyday people are ropda very peaceful. This figure is speaking seems very jeonggyeowo. Life is such a beautiful nature in the clear blessing.

Langshott Manor Hotel & Tanyard Barn Update (Re - Edited)
This is a Re-edited Video (Re-issued because of a previous youtube software copyright claim on a small amount of music playing on a builders radio at the Tanyard Barn location) Filmed on the same day as my recent local High Street tour, i stopped by to check on the progress on The Acres redevelopment of Tanyard Barn, an explore i did in early October 2014, this old barn used to be part of the nearby Tanyard Farm which was a tannery that existed in the late 18th century. I have often walked past the exclusive Langshott Manor, now a luxury hotel & wondered what it looked like, so i decided to take a quick look around the outside & it's beautiful superbly kept gardens, & after a quick explanation to a very smartly dressed & friendly manager, as was the gardener & the plump of ducks, i was given the green light to take a look around & get a few images, including their sample menu by the hotels driveway entrance sign. 5*****
History:
The Manor House is a timber-framed, central-chimneyed House of Tudor origins, circa 1580.
The oldest part of the building is where the Hever bedroom and St Peter’s Dining Room are situated on the ground floor. In the 17th Century Bodiam, Arundel, Lewes, Windsor, the Lounge and the Morning Room were added. In early Victorian times the outer Entrance Hall, the large Inner Hall and Staircase, the Gallery, Leeds and the four-poster room above Scotney bedroom were built on over the servants’ quarters and pantries, which were part of the original house dating back to 1580.
The site of the Manor was once moated, hence today’s ponds. It is believed that a much earlier house occupied the site before the present Manor was built 400 years ago. Certainly many second-hand timbers were used in its construction and these were uncovered, during restoration work, when they were found to be as sound today as they would have been then.
In 1669, during the reign of King Charles II, Richard Evelyn (brother of the famous diarist John Evelyn) and his wife Elizabeth, who was the daughter, and heiress of George Minne of Epsom, held the land as a Manor.
They had four sons and one daughter but all four sons died in infancy. The daughter, Anne, married William Montague, son of Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, but she died childless. It was during this time that the East Wing of the house was built and there is a stone over the inglenook in the dining room that probably commemorates this.
On Anne’s death the house then passed to the Montague family, seemingly on Elizabeth’s decision, much to John Evelyn’s disgust.
Soon after this the property passed into the hands of a family called Barnes. William Barnes of Horley married Sarah Bridges who, having outlived her husband, bequeathed the estate on her death to her nephew, Alexander Bridges, in 1733. It is with this family that Langshott remained until 1921.
This century, Langshott has been the home of Lord Montague of Brandon, 6th Baron and then of Major Jennings who filled the house with six little boy evacuees from the East End during the Second World War. We have had visits from two of them, now in their sixties and what stories they had to tell!!
The British Coal Board - Sir Derek Ezra - owned the property from 1955 - 1975 and then the major part of the park, meadows, pastures and woods were sold to a developer. This wonderful house was then forgotten, neglected and unloved for a number of years, until the Noble family came in.
The Nobles bought the house and three acres of land in September 1986 at auction, and then proceeded to give it constant and ceaseless loving care for eleven years. During this time they had the great pleasure of watching the old Manor come back to life again. The Manor has such a tremendous welcoming warmth, entwined with charm and character, with a lot of living and giving still to do
The Hinchcliffes bought the house in October 1997 and since have embarked on a refurbishment programme that has seen a transformation of the Manor and gardens with the building of a new restaurant, and most recently, an additional wing which houses a further 7 bedrooms....Enjoy!

Parliament of England
The Parliament of England was the legislature of the Kingdom of England. In 1066, William of Normandy introduced a feudal system, by which he sought the advice of a council of tenants-in-chief (a person who held land) and ecclesiastics before making laws. In 1215, the tenants-in-chief secured Magna Carta from King John, which established that the king may not levy or collect any taxes (except the feudal taxes to which they were hitherto accustomed), save with the consent of his royal council, which gradually developed into a parliament.
Over the centuries, the English Parliament progressively limited the power of the English monarchy which arguably culminated in the English Civil War and the trial and execution of Charles I in 1649. After the restoration of the monarchy under Charles II, and the subsequent Glorious Revolution of 1688, the supremacy of Parliament was a settled principle and all future English and later British sovereigns were restricted to the role of constitutional monarchs with limited executive authority. The Act of Union 1707 merged the English Parliament with the Parliament of Scotland to form the Parliament of Great Britain. When the Parliament of Ireland was abolished in 1801, its former members were merged into what was now called the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The Mill on the Floss Audiobook by George Eliot | Full Audiobook | Part 1
The novel details the lives of Tom and Maggie Tulliver, a brother and sister growing up on the river Floss near the village of St. Oggs, evidently in the 1820’s, after the Napoleonic Wars but prior to the first Reform Bill (1832). The novel spans a period of 10-15 years, from Tom and Maggie’s childhood up until their deaths in a flood on the Floss. The book is fictional autobiography in part, reflecting the disgrace that George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) herself had while in a lengthy relationship with a married man, George Henry Lewes.
Maggie Tulliver holds the central role in the book, as both her relationship with her older brother Tom, and her romantic relationships with Philip Wakem, a hunchbacked, but sensitive and intellectual, friend, and with Stephen Guest, a vivacious young socialite in St. Oggs and fiance of Maggie’s cousin Lucy Deane, constitute the most significant narrative threads.

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
=======
Surrey ( SURR-ee) is a county in South East England which borders Kent to the east, West Sussex to the south, Hampshire to the west, Berkshire to the north-west, and Greater London to the north-east.
With about 1.2 million people, Surrey is the twelfth most populous English county, the third most populous home county, after Kent and Essex, and the third most populous in the South East, after Hampshire and Kent.
Guildford is popularly regarded as the county town, although Surrey County Council is based extraterritorially at Kingston upon Thames.
Surrey is divided into eleven districts: Elmbridge, Epsom and Ewell, Guildford, Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead, Runnymede, Spelthorne, Surrey Heath, Tandridge, Waverley, and Woking.
The London boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth, and parts of Lewisham and Bromley were in Surrey until 1889, as were Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Merton, Sutton and the part of Richmond upon Thames on the right bank of the River Thames until 1965, when they were absorbed into Greater London, and the county extended north of the Thames by the addition of Spelthorne, as a result of the dissolution of Middlesex.
Surrey is a wealthy county due to economic, aesthetic, conservation and logistical factors. It has the highest GDP per capita of any English county, some of the highest property values outside Inner London, and also the highest cost of living outside of the capital.
Surrey has the highest proportion of woodland of counties in England. It has large protected green spaces (such as the North Downs, Greensand Ridge and related Surrey Hills AONB and royal landscapes adjoin it — Windsor Great Park and Bushy Park near the River Thames). It has four horse racing courses, and golf courses including international competition venue Wentworth.
Surrey is close to Heathrow and Gatwick airports and the M25, M3 and M23 motorways and has frequent rail services to central London.
