    The view from Down St Mary 780 to 2014 DSM timeline © Roger Steer 780 The Saxons reach the Tamar. During the period of the Saxons, the natural forests of Devon are gradually cleared and most of the villages and settlements we take for granted in the countryside are established. 905 Bishop Putta is murdered – some say at the spot where Copplestone cross stands. 909 Diocese of Crediton created. 934-53 Bishop Ethelgar collects funds for the building of St Mary’s Minster at Crediton. 974 Copplestone Cross, at the junction of Down St Mary with two other parishes until 1992, is mentioned in a charter, but is much older than that. It is early Celtic interlaced work such as is not found elsewhere in England except in Northumbria. The cross gives a name to a once noted Devon family which comes in the local rhyme: Crocker, Cruwys, and Coplestone, When the Conqueror came were found at home. Eleventh Century 1018 Buckfast Abbey is founded under the patronage of King Canute. 1040 The Manor of Down(e) named after the Saxon settlement DUN meaning Hill, first recorded as being the gift of King Harthacnut. (Harthacnut was king of Denmark from 1028 to 1042 and of England from 1040 to 1042. Some of the glebe land in the manor originally formed part of the Devon estates of Harthacnut’s father, Canute, king of England 1016-35.) Tenure is granted to Aelfwein, Abbot of Buckfast in support of the ministry of the Abbey Church. Down St Mary is one of six Devon churches held by the Abbot of Buckfast prior to the Norman conquest, the others being Churchstow, Petrockstow, South Brent, Trusham and Zeal Monachorum.

However, to Americans who are the world’s top spenders in outbound international travel, Kenya is still not a popular travel destination. It is obvious that there is a huge room for Kenya to attract more US travelers. This research explored the attractiveness of Kenya for US travelers and examined the US tour wholesalers’ efforts on promoting the destination and their tour products. An analysis toward the visual contents and the “key words” used by the US tour wholesalers in promoting Kenya, as well as a questionnaire, have been conducted to understand the ability of Kenya to attract American tourists. An overview of Kenya and its tourism system is provided to support the research findings preliminary. This paper also provided several recommendations to help attract more American tourists travel to Kenya. P a g e | 2 I. Overview The Republic of Kenya, located in East Africa, is the regional hub of trade and finance.

  • Radar Vacation Spots a List from Our Favorite Specialists, Who Professionally Scour the Earth for the Next Big Thing
    Luxury Travel Travel Agents Reveal Their Favorite Under-the- Radar Vacation Spots A list from our favorite specialists, who professionally scour the Earth for the next big thing. Nikki Ekstein April 16, 2018, 2:00 AM MDT https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-16/travel-agents-reveal-their- favorite-under-the-radar-vacation-spots Travel trends come and go, but unlike those in food or fashion, they often move at an iceberg-like pace. It’s why your friends are still telling you to go to Iceland five years after it became a thing, and why you can’t stop seeing pictures of blue-and-white Portuguese tiles all over Instagram. So we turned to the experts at the forefront of the travel industry—either agents you’d hire to help you decide where to go next, or their bosses—to find out what’s creeping in on their radar. These are the places our sources would rather keep secret, if only they were allowed to. Though these are all unspoiled and uncrowded, their obscurity is only temporary. Word is already getting out about destinations such as Puglia—the architecturally-fascinating heel of Italy’s boot—which came up again and again in conversations with multiple specialists. And it’s only a matter of time before the rest of these vacation spots become the talk of every town. Get there first, or regret it later Sarara Tree Top Camp, Kenya Sarara Tree Top Camp.

    Die Windsors Glanz und Tragik einer fast normalen Familie von Tom Levine 1. Auflage Die Windsors – Levine schnell und portofrei erhältlich bei beck-shop.de DIE FACHBUCHHANDLUNG campus Frankfurt am Main 2005 Verlag C.H. Beck im Internet: www.beck.de ISBN 978 3 593 37763 6 Inhaltsverzeichnis: Die Windsors – Levine In der Morgendämmerung des 6. Februars 1952, so geht die Legende, sitzt Prinzessin Elizabeth fern jeglicher Zivilisation auf einer Plattform in der Krone eines riesigen wilden Feigenbaumes, dem so genannten »Treetops Hotel«, wo sie mit wenigen Freunden und ihrem Mann die Stille des Tagesanbruchs mitten in der afrika- nischen Wildnis erleben möchte. Hier beobachten sie, wird Michael Parker, Philips Adjudant und langjähriger Freund, später beschrei- ben, wie ein einsamer Adler majestätisch seine Kreise zieht. Im fernen Sandringham stirbt in dieser Nacht George VI. still im Schlaf. Es braucht seine Zeit, bis die Nachricht vom Tod des Königs die Reisegesellschaft erreicht. Die offiziellen Depeschen aus London landen ungelesen in einem Posteingangskorb der Botschaft, in der aber niemand ist, weil alle auf dem Weg zur Prinzessin sind. Zum Glück hören einige Journalisten die Kurzwellennachrichten. Erst kurz nach 14 Uhr wird den anwesenden Höflingen die Todesmel- dung aus London bestätigt. Philip wird unauffällig heraus gewun- ken. Um 14.45 Uhr Ortszeit eröffnet er seiner Frau Elizabeth, dass sie in Kürze in der Heimat – das erste Mal seit George I. in absen- tia – zur Königin ausgerufen werde. Philip scheint von der Nach- richt am schwersten getroffen zu sein. »Er sah aus, als habe man die halbe Welt auf ihn fallen lassen«, erzählt Parker später.
