Amersham.

Sunday we spent at Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. The TV series 'Midsomer Murders' is filmed in and around Amersham but that's not why we went there... there was of course another reason... could it be Bus related?? Spot on, of course it could.

8:30am David and I walked up to Turnpike Lane Tube Station with Abigail and Emma, Abigail has come to expect her morning walks with David just as Jackson Harry does in Turramurra, she really loved a walk they did when the rain started to fall, David was rushing to get her home and she thought this great sport especially seeing she had rain hitting her face at speed. Abi and Emma went home but David and I had to catch 4 different tube trains to get to Amersham because of work on the Underground that goes to the Channel Tunnel... it's usually only one change of tube.

Amersham & District Motor Bus Society 17th Running Day was the reason for our trip as well as to meet up with Rick Robinson one of the Aussies on the Scottish Bus trip. First bus David spied was one single decker he drove way back in 1968 when he was a real bus driver for the Aldershot and District Bus Company. The owner of this old bus was very happy to let David pose in the Drivers seat then we went for an hours trip around the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside passing through several delightful Villages one of which we decided to get off to have some lunch. There must have been 30 or more old restored Double and Single deck buses taking the never ending queue of visitors on trips through different parts of Buckinghamshire on a fine and sunny day...

Rick came back to Turnpike Lane where we met up with Tom, Emma and Abigail and after a long walk to a Greek Restaurant which had changed itself into an Indian Restaurant we enjoyed our evening meal. I really had fun on my day with my over enthusiastic husband and Rick, but If I ever thought I'd married a weirdo I can relax... there were a lot more serious weirdo's at Amersham!!
