Welcome to the Whaddon Quarterly Blog. Here is a unique opportunity to examine current and back issues of this delightful magazine; one that is packed with news and views of a north Buckinghamshire village. 

Background illustration: A red admiral (vanessa atalanta and previously known as the red admirable) enjoying a few moments with some buddleia blossom in Whaddon.  Buddleia, commonly known as the butterfly bush, is a genus comprising over 140 species of flowering plants endemic to Asia, Africa and the Americas. The red admiral was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Photograph (July 2017) by John Mortimer.
