Front Cover
The front cover this month features the award that the
Roundabout won at the recent Cambridge Building Society
Community Magazine Awards, for winning the most improved
magazine category.
We are looking for more paintings of any kind that could use
as a front cover. We can photograph them if you only have
original artwork. We are also keen to get images (photos or
paintings) of the village and surrounding areas in preparation
for future issues. Please note that images should ideally be in
portrait format and should be a
minimum
of 2400 x 1700 pix-
els. More is better!

October 2019
Well, although we are enjoying an Indian summer, as I write
this in mid-September, autumn is definitely here, with the
nights drawing in and temperatures dropping in the evenings.
The equinox will have been and gone by the time you read
this, and the days will be shorter than the nights. But, we have
the autumn colours to look forward to. I often think of how
lucky we are to live so close to the countryside, with all the
changes that the seasons bring. The best way to enjoy the
countryside is by walking our footpaths. See the article on
page 4 on how you can help maintain them.
This month, we continue our regular series of articles on Wild-
life in Buckden by Mark Ward, Buckden resident and RSPB’s
Editor-in-Chief. He laments the loss of the hedge in Luck’s
Lane, which was, as he points out, mostly elm, rare since the
ravages of Dutch Elm disease, and home to some rare and
specialised species. On a more positive note, he suggests how
we can encourage and preserve wildlife in our gardens by
providing homes for insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds and
hedgehogs. Check out his article on page 5.
We are making another plea for magazine distributors. After
many years of sterling service, a couple of our distributors
have retired and we need to replace them in order to get the
Roundabout delivered to every home in Buckden, Stirtloe and
Diddington. It takes an hour or less a month, so please do help
if you can. If you are interested, please contact the Distribu-
tion team on:
distribution@buckdenroundabout.info
Please remember to visit the Roundabout website. There are
often articles there that we could not fit into the print edition,
as well as information that arrives during the month:
