Many thanks to everyone who took part in our immersive escape room experience at Milton's Cottage over Christmas and the New Year, and gave us such lovely feedback. By popular request, we are extending the project throughout January with new booking dates now available here.

Lost Contact - Update
Just to clarify a few details, my mum's name is Elaine Hamer and the person she is trying to find is called Marie Boynton (née Jones). They were at Warwick University together during the late 70's/early 80's.
My mum knows that Marie married Phillip Boynton and they had at least 3 children, including a boy called Hal and a girl called Jessica.
If anyone is able to put us in contact with Marie, please ring me (Rosie) on 07771780072. My mum would love to be reunited with her friend.
I'm trying to find a person called Mari Boynton who lives (or used to live) in Chalfont St Giles. She went to Warick University with my mum and my mum has lost her contact details, but would love to get in touch with her. She had two children called Hal and Jessica.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards

Now is the perfect time to cut back any vegetation that is overhanging the footpaths and pavements adjacent to your property. The Highways Act 1980, section 154 requires property owners to manage vegetation that poses a hazard to public roads and footpaths. This year has been a bumper year for fruit trees, however some of the trees overhang the pavements and this has caused issues when the fruit falls, causing a hazard for people walking. Please take a look at your hedges and trees that are adjacent to footpaths and pavements. If they are overhanging please cut them back to within your property line. Your neighbours will thank you.
