Bourne End photo Burnend (first recorded 1236) "End of the Stream" is where the Wye flows into the Thames. Nestling in the Chilterns alongside the river, the village has been the home of papermakers, lacemakers and brickmakers. Today Bourne End is a thriving village close to London and even closer to the open countryside of the Chiltern Hills in central southern England.

Snow on Amersham HillIn preparation here are a few photos of the snow tonight (21st Dec) just down the road in High Wycombe...

Amersham Hill - when this photo was taken there was absolute silence

Sledging down Amersham Hill and almost no cars in sight

 

 

looking down Amersham Hill

View down Amersham Hill that will not have changed much in

100 years (except for the central reservation, the keep left sign,

the 30mph speed limit, the electric street lamps

and the refuse bins for collection!!!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The usual aspect of photo two is that the red, amber and green traffic lights are all on at the same time. In fact the lights change depending on the traffic motion and as there wasn't any they were doing a complete cycle of colours every few seconds.
