Finally another Saturday and we were off again, after an appointment with the bank, this time we headed on the the Number 74 Bus to High Wycombe.
This town is a cute town, with a central area for shopping with plenty of street stalls on a Saturday, and plenty of shoppers around to encourage business.
The local church also looked Old.
The church was rebuilt in 1275.
By 1509 the central tower was causing concern, and was taken down.

A new tower was completed in 1522,
and the pinnacles were added in 1755
but we went passed it and continued on up
Hughenden Road.
But Hughenden was the target and
we wanted to spend sometime there to get to know the place.
The gate house was a beautiful flint home that of course has someone living in it.
First was the Hughenden Chapel which again was a Flint Chapel, and it was open for viewing.
It had beautiful inside with lovely stained windows, and a Graveyard that had centuries of history.
we then walked up to the house.
This beautiful brick home was Benjamin Disraeli home and he loved the place.
The inside as usual is very dark and very hard to take to photo's
It was still a very nice house to tour.
And at the door were two statues of him.
The gardens had been restored back to the time of best, and was still being improved.
This is where we sat and enjoyed the sun.
and got a chance to watch the Kites in the air above.
On the way home we found the old Vaiduct.
But spring is in the air and next week is also planned to be special.
