Winter has come to Britain again but it is not the bleak ugly season many think it to be. Even without the trappings of snow it has an austere beauty as can be seen from this picture of a lane, lined by elms, which leads down to the Thames at Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, bathed in the hard light of the winter sunshine.

Why we say To burke.
"To burke" comes from the notorious Edin- borough murderers, Burke and Hare. Burke confessed to sixteen mur- ders, most of which were committed by smothering with a pillow. He was executed in 1829, after which "burking" came to mean smothering or hushing-up.
