The White Hart offers our customers a warm and friendly welcome, great food and a variety of wines and ales to choose from. Our charming pub is located in the beautiful scenic village of Denmead and boasts one of the largest pub gardens in the area.
Recently refurbished to a high standard, the White Hart is an ideal venue for a quiet, cosy meal or a family get together. We can also cater for parties, special events and weddings. In addition, we offer comfortable overnight accommodation with a full English breakfast.
Dedicated to offering the very best in home cooked traditional food, our extensive menu caters to all tastes. We also offer an array of tasty options for vegetarians, gluten intolerant and allergy sufferers.
“Been a couple of times and the food was lovely. Nice size portions and friendly staff. Not a cheap option but didnt mind paying a little extra for great food! Definitely worth a visit every now and again can’t wait to go back and try something else!!”
“Really enjoyed my visit to the White Hart in Denmead. An amazing choice of meals, delicious food, a great atmosphere and friendly service.”
“We have visited the White Hart a few times this year and have always been pleased. The menu includes the usual (and expected) favourites but also, some delicious, innovative dishes and a good selection of ‘Dishes of the Day’ too.
There’s a choice of areas to sit in and the atmosphere is welcoming especially the ‘see-through’ fire. The decor is a comfortable blend of modern and traditional. It’s large enough for families and groups as well as couples.
“We love coming to this pub on a Friday lunch. Its usually busy which shows its very popular. The food is good and we always enjoy our visit especially in the summer when we can sit in the lovely big garden”
“Booked a party of 17 in at the white hart, got there and first noticed nearly the whole pub was set up for Xmas parties, and they had also put on a DJ for dancing too after.
Staff were really friendly and gave great service. The food was very good especially considering it was mass catering that night. None of the food tasted processed and was freshly cut meat. There was also a generous amount. It all arrived hot. Will definately be back next year”
“This is a family pub in the lovely area of Denmead with a good outside space for children. Food is good pub grub featuring all the familiar favourites. I have visited many times over many years, recently I have sampled the salads – very fresh was delightful, also the ribs were a winner, very reasonably price. The cheese ploughman’s was also very good. The furniture inside is not particularly inviting lots of pine table and chairs, not comfortable – very hard. There are a few leather sofas and chairs some showing signs of wear and tear. Well worth a visit!”
I have a Precision Mobile Workstation 7510 running WIndows 10 with two drives. I have Bitlocker enabled on both drives.
Dell Command Update recently notified me of a BIOS update but warned me that I must suspend BitLocker protection to perform the update.
I suspended BitLocker on the OS drive, but it appears that Windows 10 does not allow me to suspend BitLocker on the second drive. My only option to turn BitLocker off on the secondary drive is to do a full volume decryption, which takes hours (it's a 2GB drive).
Turning BitLocker off on the OS drive does not seem to convince Dell Command Update that things are ready for the update. I suspect that it is the fact BitLocker is still enabled on the secondary drive that is causing Dell Command Update to balk.
1) Am I deducing the problem correctly? Is it the fact that the secondary drive has BitLocker still enabled that is stopping Dell Command Update from updating?
3) If I manually install the update (bypassing Dell Command Update) without completely disabling BitLocker on the secondary drive, will there be any adverse effects (such as being unable to access data on my secondary drive)?
4) Is there a way to get around #3 without completely decrypting and then later re-encrypting the secondary drive? Can I remove it from my computer while the BIOS update runs and add it back later fir a seamless transition? Or can I save the recover... Read more
If you had asked me a few years ago how I handled my problems, I would tell you that I would hold them in or ignore them until they couldn’t be ignored anymore. To me, this was a normalized routine in which I felt okay until it was too much. It was through this approach that I found astrology and numerology, and consequently a new lifestyle.
Many of my problems felt as though they came out of left field, and for this reason I turned to horoscopes as a way to prepare myself for potentially challenging situations. While some argue that horoscopes can lead to a placebo effect of negativity, I’ve never found this to be the case. The key is not seeing horoscopes as predictions of the future, but rather as advice for situations you may encounter. There are many times where horoscopes have been uncannily accurate, and other times where I never lived out their situations. However, they have allowed me to feel more secure in my actions as each day comes. The horoscope site that I use most frequently is Astrostyle.com. This website has daily, weekly, and monthly horoscopes as well as numerology references and other pertinent information. Their writing style is witty and informational, and checking their horoscopes has become one of my favorite daily routines.
As I became more comfortable with horoscopes and astrology, I started to look into tarot with the guidance of one of my amazing family friends. Tarot cards allow you to ask about life situations on your own time and get advice from your spiritual guides. These cards come in many styles and formats, and one of my favorite artists is Doreen Virtue. I currently have her Dolphins and Mermaids tarot deck, as well as her Ascended Masters deck (which I bought on Friday!). These have helped me to feel more secure during times of uncertainty, and their breathtaking artwork brings me peace in times of chaos.
Contrary to popular belief, anyone can buy a tarot card deck and use it effectively (even without any astrology or numerology experience!). All you have to do is concentrate on your energy (how you are feeling in that moment, and what is on your mind the most). Then you must clear out the energy from the cards by knocking on them with your knuckles and waving the energy away (I like to close my eyes and envision golden light leaving the deck). Now you are ready to ask your question. Shuffle the cards until you feel as though you no longer need to, and select your cards. I usually select three cards, and do this by looking at the cards and selecting the three that appeal the most to me. There is no incorrect way to do this. Something is driving you to these cards over others, even if you feel as though nothing is happening or that you are picking them randomly. You can also pick the top three cards off of the deck after shuffling, or any variation of card selection. Do what feels right to you. When you start out, it is most helpful to take the included guidebook and read over the detailed explanations for every card that you draw. This helps to familiarize you with their meanings, and after a while you won’t need to look at this guidebook anymore.
Another area of numerology that I have explored is that of crystals. I have always loved the visual appeal of crystals, and after learning about their healing properties I have started a collection. Each type of crystal has its own energy, and can be used during certain situations. For example, rose quartz is the stone of unconditional love. This can be love of self, family, and others. This stone supports you in times of need for self-love and respect, or when you need guidance in your relationships with others. Blue Lace Agate, as another example, enhances your communication skills and willingness to take risks without being overcome with nerves or anxiety. Energymuse.com has a wonderful reference guide if you are interested in getting crystals of your own! I place mine by my pillow at night, but sometimes will hold them when reading or watching a movie.
I’ve also learned about the numerology behind my birthdate and personality linkages. Numerology deals with life-path numbers as a way to explore potential paths for exploration that are well-suited for you. Numerology involves many calculations (of your life-path number, daily number, etc.) but there are many websites that can do this for you. I often refer to tokenrock.com for all of my numerology questions. I have a life-path number of 8, which designates me as a natural leader. While these numbers have many assumptions behind their calculations, aspects of them often prove true for everyone.
Astrology and numerology have enhanced my life is more ways than I ever thought possible. Part of my daily routine includes checking up on my daily and weekly horoscopes, numerology numbers, and tarot cards. I have more confidence in my abilities and in my struggles, and have been able to address problems at their core instead of waiting for them to overwhelm me.
If you have any interest in astrology or numerology, I highly recommend that you give it a try! If you still have questions, or want to know more about any of these practices feel free to leave a comment below or email me at thewisewillowblog@gmail.com! 🙂
I am a huge fan of astrology and numerology and have used both crystals and tarot cards to help me sort through problems. This was a great post to read and highly informative! XO -Kim
Thank you Kim! I’m so glad you liked it! Astrology and Numerology have become a significant part of my life, and I couldn’t be happier 🙂 It’s amazing to hear that you love it too! xx
On Sunday 29th April 2003, we found that we could get a "sitter" to look after our dog for a week or so in May (good old Jackee!)!. We looked on the Internet for a suitable holiday and booked a cruise to Alaska, with Norwegian Cruise Lines, on their cruise ship Norwegian Sun, leaving Seattle on Sunday 11th May. We got a good deal and so upgraded our cabin to a Suite, at the stern of the ship. We flew British Airways on the Friday, direct to Seattle from Heathrow Airport.
The route took us from Seattle, through the Inside Passage between Vancouver and Vancouver Island and up to Juneau and Skagway, Alaska, calling at Ketchikan and Victoria on the way back.
Having arrived in Seattle the previous evening, we had a whole day to see the city and the area. We stayed at the Paramount Hotel on Pine Street, which was well situated for the shopping centres and fairly close to the harbour front. We had booked the hotel through British Airways and were very satisfied with the standard of accommodation. We started our day by getting the monorail from the nearby shopping mall and arrived at the Space Needle, which towers 605 feet above the city. A lift took us to the top, where we had a spectacular view of the City of Seattle. We returned to the city centre and then walked to the harbour, where we caught a ferry to Bainbridge Island, about a 3/4 of an hour trip. There were many tug boats as we left the harbour, about to start their annual race. We were accompanied on the journey over by a US Customs launch, which sported a couple of machine guns to deal with any would be pirates! Bainbridge Island seemed very picturesque. We only stayed a couple of hours and explored the town of Winslow, and the inner reaches of the harbour. Very smart and expensive real estate!
After breakfast we walked down to the market area and saw that our cruise ship had berthed overnight. We could see our cabin verandah at the stern of the ship and it looked inviting. We did a bit of shopping in the town and around midday got a taxi to the pier to embark. Getting aboard was no problem, and we were taken to our cabin, which met all of our expectations, and contained a complimentary bottle of champagne! We had a look around the ship and ate lunch at the Great Outdoor Cafe at the stern, overlooking Seattle. We were then all called to a practice emergency, as the ship sailed, and we again noticed that the US Customs had provided two armed launches to escort us from harbour. We sailed into the evening sunset and the Inside Passage.
Today we awoke to find ourselves in the Inside Passage, with the coast of Vancouver Island alongside. By 10 am we left the island behind and sailed out to sea, with Juneau our destination for the following day. There were plenty of activities we could do on ship and a pleasant day soon passed. I was very pleased with the "Freestyle" choices available, whereby we had a complete choice of how we spent the day, with relaxed and informal dining arrangements, with plenty of options. The entertainment was splendid, again with many choices throughout the day and evening.
We woke to a grey but spectacular dawn, and by late morning we were ready to berth at the port of Juneau, Alaska. We had an exciting and busy day ahead of us, starting with a helicopter ride to glaciers on the Juneau Icefield. We disembarked ship and a coach took us to the airfield, where we watched a safety film, only to then be told that due to adverse weather conditions (rain and cloud) our trip was cancelled. We returned to Juneau with heavy hearts, but then jumped on a bus and travelled to the Mendenhall Glacier. You view the glacier across a lake, and notice the blueness of the ice. We then returned to Juneau, to join an evening whale watching boat trip. The trip was great, with a splendid meal thrown in. We had around half a dozen sightings of whales, first the blow of water pluming in the air, then the splash as their bodies broke the surface. The scenery was splendid and we enjoyed every moment.
An early start saw us disembark ship at Skagway, and by coach travel along the coast, to board a catamaran, taking us across the water, past Haines and onto Glacier Point, for a Wilderness Expedition. We jumped onto the beach and were taken by 4 WD coach, along a narrow and unmade track inland. We then changed into waterproofs and trecked for about half a mile to a lake, where we got on board canoes and paddled our way for a further 1/2 mile to the edge of the glacier. Again, the blueness was apparent and there were a number of mini icebergs in the lake. After an hour on the lake we returned the way we had come. On the catamaran trip back we stopped by the shore to see around 100 sea lions basking on the rocks.
On our return to Skagway, we then got aboard the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway, for a spectacular train journey into the mountains. A three hour, 40 mile round trip took us some 2,865 feet high, through tunnels, over amazing bridges, and past spectacular scenery. An excellent live commentary by the tour guide enhanced the journey, and although you could see everything from the coaches, you could get outside, between each coach for a more direct experience. On the return journey, the seats folded the opposite way and everyone changed sides of the carriage, so that all had a view from each side.
John awoke in the early hours with symptoms of food poisoning, and was unable to enjoy today. However, Penny was fine and experienced one of the best days of the cruise. We journeyed along a deep fjord, with spectacular scenery either side, then cruised right up to the Sawyer Glacier, before turning and making our way on towards Ketchikan. The day ended with a spectacular sunset.
Penny left mid morning and enjoyed a trip entitled "Orca Beach Nature Trail." Following a 30 minute boat ride, she arrived on a secluded beach where she made a 30 minute walk through forest to a boardwalk. A motorised inflatable boat then provided a short cruise along the coast, back to the boat taking her home. Various items of interest were pointed out, including fauna and flora.
John ventured out to do some souvenir shopping for the family, and had a further disaster when he came back onboard, falling through the gangway ladder as it joined the ship. He was not very impressed with this lack of safety, and badly grazed his leg, which has taken some six weeks to get better.
We cruised most of the day, out at sea, arriving at Victoria, Vancouver Island, in the evening. We joined a coach tour of the city. Victoria is a very smart city, and has many Colonial connections. We travelled into the expensive areas where prices are given in millions of dollars. At the highest point of the tour we saw a rainbow over the coast. Victoria Island is somewhere where you could spend at least a week exploring, maybe two.
We berthed at Seattle early morning, but did not leave the boat until around 10.45 am. We had a last look at our cabin and said our goodbyes to the ship. Good memories of the excellent ship's crew, first class entertainment, facilities and the standard of our cabin. We took a taxi to the Airport and by booking in early, managed to get the best seats on the plane (standard class) on the way home.
