amazing view of Earth ... way beyond my
expectation.

SHROVE TUESDAY

Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of
Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent - the 40 days leading up to Easter - was
traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians
went to confession and were "shriven" (absolved from their sins). A bell would
be rung to call people to confession. This came to be called the Pancake Bell
and is still rung today.
Shrove Tuesday always falls 47 days before Easter Sunday, so the date varies
from year to year and falls between February 3 and March 9. In 2016 Shrove
Tuesday will fall on the 9th February.
Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before embarking
on the Lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients.
A pancake is a thin, flat cake, made of batter and fried in a frying pan. A
traditional English pancake is very thin and is served immediately. Golden
syrup or lemon juice and caster sugar are the usual toppings for pancakes.
The pancake has a very long history and featured in cookery books as far back
as 1439. The tradition of tossing or flipping them is almost as old: "And every
man and maide doe take their turne, and tosse their Pancakes up for feare they
burne." (Pasquil's Palin, 1619).
The ingredients for pancakes can be seen to symbolise four points of
significance at this time of year
Eggs ~ Creation
Flour ~The staff of life
Salt ~ Wholesomeness
Milk ~ Purity

HISTORY OF HARROW ON THE HILL

Harrow-hill, standing as it were insulated and rising out of a rich vale to a very
considerable eminence, affords a variety of beautiful prospects. The view towards
the East is terminated by the metropolis; to the South by the Surrey hills; towards
the North it is the least extensive, being intercepted by the high ground about
Stanmore and Harrow-weald;The view towards the West and South-west, which
is very extensive and beautiful, may be seen to the greatest advantage from the
church-yard, whence the ground declines precipitately to Roxeth-common, where
the scenery is very pleasing; the distant prospect takes in Windsor-castle, and a
considerable part of the counties of Berks and Buckingham. On the brow of the
hill, as you descend to Sudbury-common, is a small villa belonging to Thomas
Orde, Esq. with a beautiful garden and shrubbery, which commands nearly the
same prospect.
The town is in Harrow-on-the-Hill parish; stands near the London and
Northwestern railway, 1 mile N of the Paddington canal, and 11 miles WNW
of St. Paul's, London; and has a station on the railway with telegraph, and a post
office under London, NW. It was known at Domesday as Herges, -afterwards as
Hareways; and it is supposed to occupy the site of a Roman military station. It
stands on a hill fully 200 feet high, surrounded by an extensive plain; and
commands a magnificent panoramic view over parts of thirteen counties. ...
It formerly was a market town, and still has a fair on the first Monday of Aug.; it
publishes a monthly newspaper; and it contains a good inn, a church, a Wesleyan
chapel, a famous grammar school, and national schools. The church was built
about the 14th century; retains portions of a previous church, of Norman
character, built by Archbishop Lanfranc; has a western embattled tower, with
lofty spire; was recently repaired and beautified, at a cost of 7, 000; and contains
a Norman font of Purbeck marble, and many interesting brasses and monuments.
The grammar school was founded in 1571, by John Lyon, a yeoman of the parish;
has a very small income from endowment, with four exhibitions and two
scholarships at the universities; is free to all boys who are natives of the parish,
and also receives "Foreigners;" is conducted on the same system as Eton; and has
now an attendance of about 500 scholars. Archery was originally a part of the
school training, but ceased to be so in 1771. The sub-district contains the parishes
of Harrow-on-the-Hill and Pinner. Acres, 13, 590. Pop., 7, 374. Houses, 1, 390.

LIST THE OCEANS IN THE WORLD

Historically, there are four named oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and
Arctic. However, most countries - including the United States - now recognize
the Southern (Antarctic) as the fifth ocean. The Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian are
known as the three major oceans. The Southern Ocean is the 'newest' named
ocean.
