DECEMBER 2018
Letter from the Editor
I’ve been umming and erring about what to write
for my Editors Letter this month. I am not a writer
in any sense of the word, but I’m good at staring at
a blank page!
I thought I might reflect on the best bits of 2018
but I decided against that; it’s in the past and I
want to look to the future. I have so many things
planned for hiya bucks for 2019 and beyond and
it is all very exciting. I’m going to be working with
local artisan producers and crafty entrepreneurs
much more from January and I can’t wait to get
going.
With Christmas upon us, I would really like to
encourage you all to make the most of what
Buckinghamshire has to offer. Please shop local
where possible, and by local I mean shop in
family run businesses that aren’t part of a chain
store. Buy your Christmas gifts from craft markets
and artisan fairs, where our local entrepreneurs
have been working had to make bespoke things
especially for you. Avoid the queue at the tills this
Christmas and instead shop off the beaten track.

shop please get in touch.
In the meantime, whatever you get up to this
festive season have a lot of fun, stay safe (be
mindful of which taxi you are getting in to – see
front cover for a reputable local taxi firm) and enjoy
reading your copy of hiya bucks magazine. If you
