St Neots is a town and civil parish in the non metropolitan county of Cambridgeshire, England, within the historic county of Huntingdonshire, next to the Bedfordshire county border. St Neots lies on the banks of the River Great Ouse in the Huntingdonshire District, 15 miles (24 km) west of Cambridge and 49 miles (79 km) north of central London.
St Neots is the largest town in Cambridgeshire with a population of approximately 40,000 in 2014. The town is named after the Cornish monk Saint Neot, whose bones were subject to translation from the hamlet of St Neot on Bodmin Moor on consecration of the Priory of St Neots c. 980.
Pilgrimage to St Neots brought prosperity for the town, and it was granted a market charter in 1130. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the town enjoyed further prosperity through corn milling, brewing, stagecoach traffic and railways. After the Second World War, the town and its industry grew rapidly as London councils paid for new housing to be built in the town to rehouse families from London. The first London overspill housing was completed in the early 1960s.
St Neots lies in the valley of the River Great Ouse, partly on the flood plain and partly on slightly higher ground a little further from the water. The Great Ouse is a mature river, once wide and shallow but now controlled by weirs and sluices and usually constrained in a well-defined channel. St Neots developed at the site of a ford where overland routes converged. This was replaced by a medieval bridge, and today there are two further crossings just outside the town, one to the north and another to the south.
St Neots is approximately 49 miles north of London. It is close to the south-western boundary of Huntingdonshire District, and both the city of Cambridge and the county town of Bedford are nearby. St Neots railway station is located on the East Coast Main Line and provides half-hourly trains south to London (London King's Cross) and north to Peterborough. Journey times to London King's Cross typically range from 36 minutes to one hour. The station is managed and served by Great Northern.
St Neots is bypassed by the A1 which links the town by road with London to the south and Peterborough to the north, while the nearby A14 provides access to the Midlands and East Anglia. Regular local buses are provided by Stagecoach in Huntingdonshire and Go Whippet. St Neots is served by the cross country X5 service that runs between Cambridge and Oxford.
St Neots Museum, housed in the town's Victorian Police Station and Magistrates Court, has local history collections covering the town's rich past including a display about James Toller, the Eynesbury Giant, a resident from the 18th century who measured over 8 ft in height. There is also a gallery with temporary exhibitions by local creatives including fine art, ceramics, sculpture and illustration.

Oxford England
Oxford is just 58 minutes away from London Paddington Station and about the same by car, but on Saturdays parking is pretty difficult. My train was completely packed and found myself squeezed into the corner with camera and tripod for the whole journey.
It was however well worth the effort, with one of the finest days of the year so far. It had been some time since I had a good walk around the medieval city of Oxford with its university buildings, so I'd been planning the trip for the whole week. Shame I botched the white balance, there's a green tint on the video, which gives it a certain Je ne sais quoi? but hey.

Fummins Family goes to Leavenworth.....
Since we are spending a couple months in western Washington we were excited to get to go to Leavenworth to see the Christmas lights. Brandon had a day off work and wanted to go use his new camera so Harmony packed up all the kids and we headed over. It was about an hour and a half drive from the campground we were staying at.
If you've never been to Leavenworth Washington you ought to go check it out. It is a cute little Bavarian town right in the middle of Washington state. All the buildings are decorated for the holidays in December and they claim to have over half a million Christmas lights. We got to hear people singing Christmas carols, there were horse drawn carriage rides, and we had a visit from St. Nicholas. He told the kids a story and gave them each a gold wrapped pear. There wasn't much snow during our visit, but that was nice for the drive. The roads were clear. It was very cold and we had to stay bundled up. The kids even tried sledding. There was no snow but that didn't stop them from sliding down a dirt hill onto ice. We had a great day.
