Bald Explorer Meets John Eaton in Ashurst

Today I am in Ashurst in West Sussex. It's a small village north of Worthing and close to Steyning. I am at the beautiful church there to meet John Eaton, 91, who has lived in the village all his life. I am curious to learn his memories of village life and how he made national headline news.

Oh man, the 'old' people sharing their real experiences of growing up. You can't exchange those experiences for gold! They are the last 'living' historical connection. Absolutely fascinating to listen/see.

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@claire76leach]

Wow he’s doing good for his age! Lovely man

[@RichardVobes]

He sure is.

That was precious! What a treasure John is! I was surprised when you said he was born in 1927 as he certainly did not look it! Was an amazing wealth of memories & history to glean from!!! As well, Ashurst was a very lovely little church. Beautiful church yard & I just loved those stained glass windows & the wood arches!😍 Well done Richard!

[@ramibu239]

Also, I love how indepth the camera you used on this video was! Almost like looking into 3D & gave very sharp images!

I enjoyed meeting John very much.

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

Lovely story.

[@MarqEnglish]

I do love old Country Churches....I'm sure Mr Eaton was telling fibs about being 91! He looks in his 70's.

[@RichardVobes]

Such a young and sprightly fella
