“Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.” - Sydney J. Harris, Journalist

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Friends of St Wilfrid’s concert on Friday 28 February.

Boat movements were down all last year. The winter was pretty quiet too. The seemingly unending storms wreaked havoc across the waterways system, bringing many trees down to block the navigation. There seems to have been a small spurt of activity for the February half term. Nobody is sure how the season will pan out. Some hire firms report bookings are slow. Private boats, whose numbers are increasing, tend not to travel far, and the trends are not very encouraging. Perhaps if we are blessed with some good weather, and not so many floods, things will pick up. 

Those of you who are aware of the much lamented Michael Mosley and his ‘Just One Thing’ suggestions to encourage healthy living, might like to consider a similar theme. This time for improving our environment and supporting wildlife.

For our article, this month we are focusing on the work of one of our partner agencies – The Bridge (East Midlands)

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.
