4 Dear Neighbours, I’m sure I can’t be the only one who’s baffled by the regular appearance in these parts of Road Closed Ahead signs and then being given no indication as to which road is closed and where. Recently, on the way in to Kirkbymoorside, heading towards Hutton - le Hole, one of these signs appeared. My initial thought was that the road to Pickering must be closed - but where? Then another Road Closed sign appeared at the roundabout, but with a sign pointing to the town centre. I went into Kirkbymoorside later but didn’t see any evidence of it being cut off from the rest of the world, so the sign remained one of life’s little mysteries until I went to Gillamoor to deliver magazines, where I found another Road Closed sign, the one that the original sign was referring to, this time on the way out to Fadmoor. I asked a friendly local if the road to Fadmoor was indeed closed but he said no, it was the road out to the Moors, Highfield Lane, that was closed. “But”, he added, “you can still get through if you want”! Confusingly, the diversion sign also pointed up Highfield Lane!

Last month, a similar crop of signs appeared around Gilling and Oswaldkirk, telling us that Thorpe Lane in Ampleforth was closed. Now I don’t live in Ampleforth so the name was unfamiliar to me, although I do know the street names as I deliver there, but it turned out that people in Ampleforth hadn’t heard of it either! It turns out to be the name of the road that leads to Yearsley. Heaven help any non-local driving through from outside the area, they wouldn’t have a clue!

If you’ve never been on the Scarecrow Trail in Slingsby over the May Day Bank Holiday then you’re missing a treat, especially if you’ve got kids, so this month to tie in with the celebrations there’s an article on page 8 all about May Day. Last year, we had the first reported swallow overhead on the 10th April.

Well, we’ve beaten that this year, as you’ll discover when you read Andy Baxter’s article on our feathered chums on page 22. The recipe this month, with thoughts of summer approaching, is Herby Stuffed Baked Tomatoes (yum!) and Pippa Greenwood advises on interesting alternatives to plant pots in her gardening article on page 40.

Don’t forget to get out and vote on May 7th!

Best Wishes, Mick

A few into bloom. Traditionally, it was an occasion for traditions were revived after the Restoration in boisterous high spirits and fertility rites.

1660.

May Day is also known as Beltane, and some ancient traditions are still recognised and celebrated. “Bel” is the Celtic name for the god of sun and fire. One very important ceremony is the lighting of the Beltane fire, signifying the returning warmth and the beginning of summer.

The fire is then leapt over to ensure fertility. This is also the only day on which it is considered lucky to bring hawthorn into the house. At all other times it’s considered inauspicious and in folklore is used to drive away witches. Another name for the hawthorn is May. The month of May is thought to have been named for Maia, the Roman goddess of springtime and growth. Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers also had her festivals during May, so there are a number of associations. Most particularly, Flora was also said to be the goddess of ‘working girls’, so you can imagine how raucous the old festivals became!

May Day customs were repressed during the interregnum, the period of parliamentary rule in

May Day celebrations that have survived include crowning a May Queen, well dressing and dancing round a maypole. The May Queen represents Flora, while well dressing is a celebration of lifegiving water and the growth of plants. In some parts of England wells, springs and other sources of water are decorated with flower petals in dazzling displays.

Maypoles have been traced to prehistoric times.

People danced around the poles but did not plait them. The earliest Maypoles were part of a celebration of Summer which would be linked in with mystical things like tree worship and more basic things like an excuse for dancing and having a good time.

Maypole dances were folk dances originating in England, Sweden and Germany. The pole and dance take different forms depending on country and county. We recognise it as a tall wooden pole festooned with long coloured ribbons which are woven by pairs of boys and girls into various complex patterns. continued on page 12

12 After the Restoration many Maypoles were re-instated and a notable one was in the Strand. This was 134 feet high (41m) and stood there until Sir Isaac Newton used parts of it as a base for his telescope!

Some of the maypoles from that period still survive in villages around the country.

None of these maypoles had ribbons so the dances were probably any circular dances that were popular at the time.

Maypole dancing as we know it today was introduced by John Ruskin at Whitelands College in 1881, where he created a series of dances and a May Pageant. The dance takes different forms depending on where in the country it is performed. Over the last few years Maypole Dancing has had a bit of a revival for all sorts of reasons such as a greater awareness of our own culture and the sheer enjoyment of dancers and audience alike.

A more recent addition to the country calendar is the annual scarecrow festival. The first was held in 1995 when the Suffolk brewery Adnams sponsored a competition. The idea soon caught on, inspiring villages all over the country to hold their own versions. You can see both Maypole dancing and a Scarecrow Festival in Slingsby, from 2nd to 4th May, when children from the local school will be dancing and scarecrows pop up in gardens all over the village. The current maypole has stood on the village green in Slingsby since May 1985 and replaced the one raised in 1959. There have been maypoles erected in the village since at least 1799.

To join in the fun get yourself a Scarecrow Trail form from the local shop and see if you can spot them all!

The Call of the Wild

I

t’s April 7th, g l o r i o u s weather, and we’ve just had the first swallow of the year fly over. My wife promptly said in mock classic dour Yorkshire style “One swallow doesn’t make a summer” upon which a second one immediately joined in and stayed hawking around the house for hours.

From such moments of humour and dazzling nature, in such glorious spring weather, come thoughts of another pleasant year ahead. No doubt the wildlife in the region is thinking just the same. Despite the previous week’s chills it seems migration, let alone breeding, is already in full swing. The birds of prey in the area are already on eggs, if not chicks, and from the sounds emanating from the darkness each night, there are already amazing numbers of wading birds hanging around our region apparently setting up territories.

On the visual front, there are definitely displaying lapwings in the area and evidence of birds on nests, possibly already on eggs, hunkered down in a field margin around the back of our village. The sounds of oystercatchers shouting away after dark is suggestive of territoriality but it is the bubbling calls of curlews passing over as they head for breeding grounds in the Moors and Dales that makes me appreciate our landscape the most.

None of these birds have a great success rate year on year. Ground nesting is a tricky

business at the best of times and as soon as the young hatch in May they are vulnerable.

Any ground based predators, let alone opportunistic birds such as the common members of the corvid family will have a go if they get the chance. The answer from wading birds’ chicks is therefore to be precocial nidifugous camouflage experts.

Precocial refers to the birds ability to show a high degree of independence as soon as it emerges from the egg. Perhaps like Bambi in the Disney movie, waders may be a little wobbly, but they are up and walking within hours of hatching. Nidifugous, being the opposite of nidicolos(!), actually comes from the Latin for nest (nidus) and flee (fugere) and again refers to the wading chicks ability to flee the nest in record time. As for camouflage, it’s an impressive ability to be able to blend in to field margins, bare soil, open grassland or any other available background and be lost from sight. It seems to work though and as long as the adults fly around calling overhead, the young should remain stationary.

Perhaps it is this ability to stay put and do as they’re told that is most impressive; certainly I am constantly reminded by my kids how incredible this feat really is. Three weeks of this level of dedication is a longshot for any of these birds but after millennia of natural selection, they really are rather good at it. Roll on spring and the sounds of summer.

Herby Stuffed

Baked Tomatoes Serves 2 - 4

Ready in 1 hour

Large and juicy beefsteak tomatoes are the perfect shape and size for stuffing and make an economical midweek supper. Serve hot or cold with a crisp green salad drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze.

Ingredients:

Preheat the oven to 190C, 375F, Gas 5.

• • • • • • • • •

Use a sharp knife to slice the tops off the tomatoes and slice a thin sliver from the base of each tomato to prevent them wobbling in the dish.

4 firm beefsteak tomatoes 3 tbsp Virgin olive oil 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed 75g fresh white breadcrumbs 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley 1 tbsp fresh chopped mint 2 tsp capers, drained and rinsed Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tip: Replace the breadcrumbs with cous cous if you like. Place 115g cous cous in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water to cover. Stir once then place a plate on top of the bowl and leave for 10 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed. Fluff up the grains with a fork then stir into the fried onion mixture as above. Add some toasted pine nuts, chopped dried apricots, fresh chopped coriander a little harissa paste for a more exotic flavour.

Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and flesh from each tomato. Finely chop and reserve the flesh but discard the seeds. Place the tomato shells in a shallow ovenproof dish.

Heat half the olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan. Add the chopped onion and fry over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and fry for a further 4-5 minutes until tender and golden. Stir in the chopped tomato flesh, breadcrumbs, parsley, mint and capers and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture into the tomato shells, pressing it down gently then top with the lids. Drizzle over the rest of the olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes are just tender. Serve hot or cold.

Going Potty for Summer Plants

by Pippa Greenwood

I

am a great fan of hanging baskets, window boxes and patio containers, but this year why not include some unusual containers and planters to bring a different look or even a bit of humour to your garden?

You can use almost anything as a planter. I have seen some really crazy plantings in disused hand basins, loo cisterns or even the lavatory itself! If you are using something like a hand basin which only has one plug hole in the bottom, make sure that you cover it with pieces of broken crock and then perhaps put an inch or two of course gravel in the bottom of the container before you put the compost in.

But there are plenty of other normal household objects which can be used. How about that old watering can that’s sprung a leak? Whether you have a traditional galvanised can or a more modern plastic one, you can have great fun planting it up with bedding, particularly if you choose something like trailing blue lobelia to come spurting out of the top and perhaps even the end.

Buckets too can look really good fun and if you have one which still has its handle firmly attached, then you could use it as a hanging basket.

Old footwear can be turned into planting with real flair. If you use old gardening boots or a pair of shoes, you are unlikely to need to add extra drainage as they invariably drain well. But if you are going to recycle a pair of wellies, then you may need to punch a few holes. Again cascading plants can look particularly dramatic, but a bunch of bright red geraniums or the spiky hedgehog-like foliage of a bright green or variegated grass can look particularly eye-catching.

drainage holes in it, then the other option is to plant it up as a mini bog garden and use moisture-loving plants in it such as hostas or pond-side irises.

Colanders or sieves also make interesting and unusual hanging baskets. You can simply plant one or two upright specimens in the centre of the colander and then use plenty of trailing plants around the edge and allow them to cascade down. You could even create your own living tea set with an old sizeable teapot and some large mugs full of favourite summer bedding.

Larger items such as old wheelbarrows or chimney pots can often be bought very cheaply from a local salvage or junk yard. Something like a wheelbarrow gives a huge planting area and because it holds such a large volume of compost, it will also mean it will be less inclined to dry out.

All these containers can be treated in just the same way as a container that you have bought from the garden centre. As I mentioned drainage is of great importance, but when it comes to choosing a compost and the plants themselves, you need nothing any different from when you are planting up a more traditional container and believe me you can have a lot more fun!

Visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood.com for ladybirds to control greenfly, Nemaslug, brilliant weeders, pop-up crop covers, copper tape and lots more besides.

See if there’s anything in your kitchen cupboards that could be recycled. An old saucepan, casserole pot or even a mixing bowl or jug can make an attractive planter. If the container is large and there are no
