Mary ’ s Meadow
This is an update on work and progress for the development of this wildflower and wildlife meadow adjacent to Stotfold Road and the Hermitage . Last Autumn local volunteers helped me crop and gather hay . We sowed more seeds , different varieties to existing , which numbered over 30 species last year . I have also planted a living willow bird hide overlooking the pond and reeds , with facilities to note all wildlife seen in this area [ We appear to have a resident pair of Snipe , and lots of Reed Buntings .] In the back of the notebook will be a list of wildflowers also . Continued thanks to local volunteers , orchestrated by the Bedford Rural Communities Charity , who also advise me on the development programme . Later in the year I will be happy to provide photos of the meadow . Once we are up and running I will be happy to allow members of the public access , subject to email details being provided . I will provide access details later this year , but please note this will not be from Stotfold Road where considerable damage has been done to fences twice already , and police have been notified . Any comments can be directed to me at stevemacsweeney @ msn . com . I hope we can make this meadow a feature of Arlesey village life .

June ’ s object in Richard ’ s Relics is something we know the name of but can you tell us what is was and is used for ? The table itself is printed on paper and mounted on some hardboard , with a hole drilled in the top centre for hanging on the wall . We ’ ll give you the answer in next month ’ s issue .

Last month ’ s mystery object
May ’ s unusual object is still a mystery , but on researching the block of wood my best guess is that it was / is used for shaping hats . The rough shaped hat would be placed over a form and shaped with this block .
