Front Cover

The front cover this month shows Buckden High Street and

was painted by a resident of Buckden. Many thanks to our

anonymous artist!

We are looking for more paintings of any kind that we could

use as a front cover. We can photograph them if you only

have original artwork. We are also keen to get images (photos

or paintings) of the village and surrounding areas in prepara-

tion for future issues. Please note that images should ideally

be in portrait format and should be a

minimum

of 2400 x

1700 pixels. More is better!

February 2020

The new decade is well underway now, the recent Christmas

celebrations fading into the memory and the reality of being

back at work or school has well and truly hit!

I don’t want to seem to be tempting fate, but apart from

some recent high winds we have been quite fortunate weath-

er wise so far this winter. I can only think of a handful of occa-

sions where I have had to scrape the car free of frost and ice

before heading off to work in the morning.

On the subject of heading off to work, I am curious to know

what the village thinks about the new A14? As a regular com-

muter to Cambridge, I find once I am on the new road it is

making my drive to and from work quicker and easier than

using the A428. And I can avoid the level crossing between

here and Offord - often a significant contributor to my journey

times!

You will have noticed I said ‘once I am on the new road’. I am

not sure I fully understand why it isn’t easier to join the A14

heading East from this part of Cambridgeshire. From Buckden

it is not too bad as I can simply head to Brampton Hut and

come back on the A1 south. The A1198 at Godmanchester has

a new junction with the A14 - but only if you want to join it

heading West!

Please remember we are always looking for article ideas for

the magazine. In 2020 we hope to increase both the variety

and number of articles, as well as running some competitions

with prizes!

Please remember to visit the Roundabout website. There are

often articles there that we could not fit into the print edition,

as well as information that arrives during the month:
