Producing the January edition of Buckden
Roundabout is always a somewhat strange ex-
perience! We are trying to act as if Xmas is all
over and the New Year is here - but this edition
should be with you before Christmas!
Congratulations to all those involved in the or-
ganising of the Christmas market and the lights
switch on - despite the slight hitch when Rever-
end Jes Salt depressed the plunger! It was
great to see so many people out and about - the
lovely weather undoubtedly helped with that!
The variety of stalls was a pleasure to see, as
was the involvement of so many village organi-
sations.
Given that this is the last issue that will be deliv-
ered before Xmas (hopefully!) the Buckden
Roundabout team would like to wish all our
readers, distributors, contributors and advertis-
ers and
Very Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year!
Please remember to visit the website. There are
often articles there that we could not fit into the

Front Cover
The cover photo this month is not of Buckden, but is
taken by a Buckden resident - Peter Sharpe. Many
thanks to Peter for letting us use this image.
We are always looking for photos, images, drawings
and paintings to use on the front cover so please
keep sending them in. In particular we are looking
for photos of winter. Please note that photos should
ideally be portrait and be 2400x1700 pixels for use
on the cover
