Wantage
I woke up this morning from a dream of unimaginable success into immobility. I had one eye slit open slightly. I remember scrambling, trying to make sense of the pattern of the wall.
I woke up. I felt nothing.
I’m sorry for living at the same time as you, making you contend with my existence. I’m sorry for bleeding (like an animal). I’m sorry I don’t know how to be alive.
As an intellectual exercise, I told my graduate student I dealt with sleep paralysis in the morning. She’d just told me she was tired, and I wanted to relate.
“I can’t remember if I slept too much or too little,” I said.
“I’m sorry,” she said. “That sucks.”

The Cedar of Lebanon was introduced to Britain around 400 years ago, and today the tree is found in many British parks and estates. The oldest one was planted in 1646 at a rectory near Wantage in Oxfordshire.

While I don't often venture beyond the city boundaries, it does feel good to know there isn't any tory MP lurking out there in the rest of the shire.

This fellow in the Norfolk mud is Trooper HT Dicky Hart of D (Wantage) Sqn., Berkshire Yeomanry. He ended the war as Sergeant HT Hart DCM MM. The DCM won at Gallipoli and the MM for the Second Battle of Gaza in April 1917.

A New Jersey Volcano
Sure, New Jersey had volcanoes. Our modern New Jersey once had an active volcano roughly the size of Mount St. Helens.
Sure, New Jersey had volcanoes. Our modern New Jersey once had an active volcano roughly the size of Mount St. Helens. The site is now known as Rutan Hill in Wantage, NJ, but if we could go back to 430 million years ago, the Beemerville Volcano would be 10 to 20 miles across and spewing lava and ash for millions of years,. Geologists say that the Beemerville Volcano is an extinct volcano and…

"For once Killick had no bad news of any kind to report, which probably accounted for his more than usually surly mutter in reply to Jack's greeting; though on reflection he did recall that the Doctor had fallen out of his cot at some time in the middle watch and had been lashed in so tight by Mr. Wantage that he would certainly be late for breakfast.
Breakfast, whose delectable scents were wafting into the great cabin as Jack shaved in the quarter-gallery just at hand, was a good hearty meal to which he often invited one of the officers who had stood the morning watch: but today, in view of the very rough night they had had, and in view of Stephen's cursed snappishness at having been so bitterly constrained - seven double turns and scarcely a breath a minute - he thought they should eat alone."
Blue at The Mizzen, Patrick O'Brian

Wilts and Berks Canal Trust (Patron from 19.04.2006)
You may not have heard of the Wilts & Berks Canal as it has been derelict for nearly a century. There are ambitious plans to bring the waterway back to life. Its called the Wilts & Berks because it is said that a lazy draughtsman could not be bothered to write in full the county names! Swindon is mid point of the waterway which linked the Thames at Abingdon with the Kennet & Avon Canal near Melksham. A further link was made from Swindon to the Thames & Severn Canal at Cricklade (The North Wilts Canal). There were also branches to Chippenham, Calne, Longcot (near Shrivenham) and Wantage. The waterway now is located in Wiltshire Swindon and Oxfordshire since Local Government boundary changes in the 1970’s. The Wilts & Berks Trust is committed to returning this historic waterway to a navigable state. The canal will restore an important link in the national waterways network, but the project will be part of the green infrastructure of the region, creating connections between existing wildlife habitats and creating aquatic and wetland habitats for endangered species.
