We are looking for more paintings of any kind that we could use as a front cover. We can photograph them if you only have original artwork. We are also keen to get images of the village and surrounding areas in preparation for future issues. Please note that photos should ideally be in portrait format and should be a minimum of 2400 x 1700 pixels. More is better!

Greens are starting to turn to browns and oranges, and it feels colder and the evenings are starting to get darker earlier. There have been some great events in the village recently. We have had the scarecrow festival which attracted lots of entries (and some very amusing ones at that!). In late September we had the artisan market at Buckden Towers, and more details about that event can be found on page 14. Two of our regular features continue this month. Terry Hay- ward brings us part 10 of his series regarding the Parish Coun- cil. They have been a fascinating read, and if reading them has inspired you to do more, the council does currently have a vacancy! In our series regarding businesses in Buckden, the focus this month is Buckden Day Nursery. I know personally what a great job they do, and I would encourage you to find out more on page 13. This is a magazine for the whole village, and to achieve that we rely on our band of volunteers to deliver the magazine every month. As new houses are added to the village, not only do we need to print more copies, we also need new volun- teers to help deliver! If this is something you think you could help with - it ’ s about 20 minutes per month - please email the distribution address below. Please remember to visit the Roundabout website. As well as every edition from 2013 onwards available to see, there are often articles there that we could not fit into the print edition, as well as information that arrives during the month: www.buckdenroundabout.info This month ’ s editor - Ian Carter Editor ’ s Page
