Our Local History Season is going very well. Graham Watts’ talk about Kibworth Harcourt Post Mill was a fascinating look at the past. We are working hard to retain that knowledge today.

Finally Kibworth Beauchamp has a sign!

Many of you will associate this ‘tag line’ with the wonderful Sarah Poli, and never has it been more apt than now, when Sarah and Lino announce that they will finally be closing the doors to Boboli’s.

Over the two days of Thursday 13 and Friday 14 February, Cameron Scott with the help of members of the KH Post Mill volunteers group carried out some remedial work on the mill following the annual inspection.  The Society for the Preservation of Buildings (SPAB) who actually own the building signed off the work which was initially on the brake wheel however other areas were looked at and where necessary maintained.

As editor of this newspaper I have been sent, by email, a copy of this month’s Neighbourhood Link. This is an online newsletter with information about neighbourhood support, neighbourhood watch, and neighbourhood action groups. In the top right hand corner is the Neighbourhood Watch logo.

Who’s noticed the slightly lighter evenings and early spring bulbs starting to push their way out of the earth?  A sign of the warmer days ahead...

Dear Editor,

If, like me, your tree knowledge is sketchy, winter is a good time to identify a few species. Away from parks and gardens, native species make up a high proportion of the trees that you might find. Some of the commoner species are described below.

So… it’s time to say goodbye.

Apparently, another name for pesticides is plant protection products!
