Amersham Cheap Oleksandr Zinchenko Jersey , formally known as Elmodesham in the Doomsday Book, was a Roman settlement at Mantles Green (on the Aylesbury end of the High Street). Amersham is actually 2 towns! There is Amersham on the Hill, which is the new town, founded around the railway and Old Amersham.

History of Amersham

Amersham Old Town was mainly built in the 17th and 18th century, though the streets are no longer cobbled Cheap Nicolas Otamendi Jersey , you still get a real feel of what it was like at that time. There are several very good pubs and restaurants, but at one time the woman of the house brewed the ale and she would hang a green bush up outside the house to let everyone know that the ale was ready to drink!

A small museum is situated in the town it has loads of old photographs showcasing the history of Amersham. Copies of the photographs can be ordered. There are examples of tools used in local trades Blacksmith, Wheelwrights and Chair makers, the women and children worked at home making black lace (particularly in the Victorian period) and plaiting straw, which was taken to Luton to make into hats. The museum has an herb garden Cheap Marlos Moreno Jersey , both for culinary and medicinal use; you can sit outside and enjoy the sights and fragrance of the garden.

The river Misbourne flows through the Old Town, but it is hardly more than a stream, which can dry up for long periods of time. This is a chalk stream which disappears underground only to reappear some distance later. During the reign of King John a charter was given to Amersham to hold a weekly market and an annual fair. There is a small market held under the arches of the market hall in Old Amersham a couple of times a week. Whilst Amersham on the Hill boasts a market on Tuesdays which closes Sycamore road.

The charter fair is still held in Old Amersham on the 19th and 20th of September, it runs the length of the High Street and Broadway, the Old Town is then closed to through traffic. The fair has been held every year for over 800 years even through 2 world wars! If the fair misses a year then they lose the charter. There have been several attempts to have the fair moved by a few local residents Cheap Leroy Sane Jersey , which seems a shame to end an amazing tradition just so they don't have the noise and disruption on 2 nights a year?

Amersham on the Hill contains most of the shops, the well known high street brands, banks and building societies. The station is at the end of the Metropolitan line and is also on the Chiltern line, so it is really easy to get a train into either Baker Street or Marylebone stations in London. The Chiltern line also goes to Aylesbury and then on to Birmingham.

Old Amersham is full of antique shops, exclusive boutiques with plenty of coffee shops Cheap Kyle Walker Jersey , pubs and restaurants. This creates an interesting and pleasant walk around the town, if you prefer to just sit and watch the world go by there are pavement tables outside the coffee shops or you can sit in the memorial gardens for peace and quiet.
"Do every day or two something for no other reason than that you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test." ? William James, Habit


Good and bad habits are tiny daily choices that accumulate. Each choice is a small wire that is woven together with hundreds of other little choices. Eventually these wires form a strong cable. Like a child that grows a tiny amount each day Cheap Kevin De Bruyne Jersey , our tiny choices accumulate without much notice. By the time we realize we have either a good or a bad habit, the habit has us. Most of our daily choices are made automatically without even thinking about them. To change our habits, we first need to be aware of them. Then we need to work backward from the habit to the daily practices that form it. To change the habit, we need to change those practices.


Procrastination is a good example. Putting things off until tomorrow is a popular labor saving device. However, as actor and comedian Cheap Kelechi Iheanacho Jersey , W.C. Fields, once said, "there comes a time that you must take the bull by the tail and face the situation." Failing to face tough situations usually makes them worse. But it's a habit. The more often we procrastinate, the more natural it is to do the next time. The opposite is also true. If we practice doing those things that we most want to delay first, we find that it wasn't so bad after all. And everything else that follows is all that much easier.


Our discipline and habits spring from our passion and commitment. I find that when I have the least amount of self-discipline and have the greatest trouble forming a success habit Cheap John Stones Jersey , it's often because my heart isn't in it. So to motivate myself, I need to find ways to increase my passion.


For years I told myself how much I hated jogging early in the morning. I would clench my teeth and go for a short run because I knew it was good for me. I complained so much about jogging that my colleagues once bought me a tee shirt complete with handy "Running Excuses" printed on it. Then I started to concentrate on all the benefits of jogging. I paid attention to the smells, sounds, and sights around me. I focused on how invigorated I felt in the shower afterward and how much more energy I had throughout the day. I talked about how much better I felt from the work out. I read articles on the benefits of aerobic exercise. I slowly extended my running distance.


Eventually I came to love jogging. When I broke my collarbone in a skiing accident (I discovered the painful truth of the most dangerous statement on the ski hill ?"Just follow me, Dad") Cheap Jason Denayer Jersey , I went jogging with my shoulder bouncing painfully in an upper body brace. I either bumped my head too hard in the fall on the ski hill or the habit has me.


Passion is a key leadership element. In a Fortune article on "America's Most Admired Companies," Thomas A. Stewart gives direction that applies to every leader in any social, family, or organization role. His advice.
