Snowy Buckingham

The November and December of 2010 are the coldest and snowiest I can remember.
Motorists struggled in the snow, but most people decided to walk instead.

Damage to the front of a house on West Street today.

Shot quickly on my iPhone this afternoon about 4pm.  West street narrows through here and this lorry and a pickup truck were both traveling too fast. Neither gave way sadly and the lorry kerbed and then jumped onto the pavement taking out the front entry corner of this 17th Century brick house.  They were unable to remove the lorry for fear of the side of the house falling down.  

Luckily no injuries. It certainly could've been worse though I feel absolutely sick for the homeowner.

Buckingham charter fair

It's the time of year again when the charter fair comes to town - it's here for a Saturday evening - then the whole thing gets taken down and is built up again the next week.

Band Jam 2010

This year's band jam was a great event with lots of people enjoying the lack of rain.

You can see lots more pictures at this online gallery.

Opportunitrees

Perhaps hard to see as it was taken on my iPhone but these opportunistic saplings always make me laugh. These are above one of Buckingham's betting shops.

No Free Newspapers

No newspapers for the digger? This picture was taken in Chandos Road where a house was being demolished.
