But what touches me most in this ceremony is that sense of kinship and of unity, which I feel exists between us this afternoon. As I speak from Downing Street to the University of Rochester and through you to the people of the United States, I almost feel I have the right to do so, because my mother, as you have stated, was born in your city, and here my grandfather, Leonard Jerome, lived for so many years, conducting as prominent and rising citizen a newspaper with the excellent eighteenth-century title of the Plain Dealer.
The great Burke has truly said, "People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors," and I feel it most agreeable to recall to you that the Jeromes were rooted for many generations in American soil, and fought in Washington's armies for the independence of the American Colonies and the foundation of the United States.

I expect I was on both sides then. And I must say I feel on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean now. At intervals during the last forty years I have addressed scores of great American audiences in almost every part of the Union. I have learnt to admire the courtesy of these audiences; their sense of fair play; their sovereign sense of humour, never minding the joke that is turned against themselves; their earnest, voracious desire to come to the root of the matter and to be well and truly informed on Old World affairs. And now, in this time of world storm, when I have been called upon by King and Parliament and with the support of all parties in the State to bear the chief responsibility in Great Britain, and when I have had the supreme honour of speaking for the British nation in its most deadly danger and in its finest hour, it has given me comfort and inspiration to feel that I think as you do, that our hands are joined across the oceans, and that our pulses throb and beat as one.
Indeed I will make so bold as to say that here at least, in my mother's birth city of Rochester, I hold a latchkey to American hearts. Strong tides of emotion, fierce surges of passion, sweep the broad expanses of the Union in this year of fate. In that prodigious travail there arc many elemental forces, there is much heart-searching and self-questioning; some pangs, some sorrow, some conflict of voices, but no fear. The world is witnessing the birth throes of a sublime resolve. I shall presume to confess to you that I have no doubts what that resolve will be. The destiny of mankind is not decided by material computation.
The Old Lion
When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awe-striking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals, and that something is going on in space and time, and beyond space and time, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
A wonderful story is unfolding before our eyes. Everybody talks about the quality of the food in reviews and in the case of the Old lion it is also very right to do so. The "plates " Not Tapas as Jaquie the landlord always says! Roast pork, roast beef all perfectly cooked with all the trimmings. Had a delightful dinner here. Quite busy on a Saturday night. The food was good, the service attentive but not in your face.
All in all, very nice. We both enjoyed it. Trapped by Trip Advisor's character rule. We've just enjoyed a fantastic meal at an absolute gem of a country pub.

I'm a bit of an awkward person to feed and often struggle with large plates food. I decided to order several small plates and it's been some time since I enjoyed Spending a few days in the area. Had a great meal and a thoroughly enjoyable evening in this warm and welcoming pub restaurant. Food was delicious, service friendly and efficient. What a shame we don't live close enough be regular customers. Unfortunately it did not live up to this rating, surroundings and service was good but quality of food wasn't.

A Lion, worn-out with age, lay drawing his last breath, and several of the beasts who had formerly been sufferers by him came and revenged themselves.
The Boar, with his powerful tusks, ripped his flank; and the Bull gored his sides with his horns. Thereupon, the poor old expiring tyrant, with his dying groan, uttered these words: A lion, worn out with years and powerless from disease, lay on the ground at the point of death. A Boar rushed upon him, and avenged with a stroke of his tusks a long-remembered injury. Shortly afterwards the Bull with his horns gored him as if he were an enemy.
When the Ass saw that the huge beast could be assailed with impunity, he let drive at his forehead with his heels. A lion that in the days of his youth and strength, had been very outrageous and cruel, came in the end to he reduced by old age, and infirmity, to the last degree of misery, and contempt:
