The amazing Great Big Green Week returns plus newbie Restore Nature Now

As promised in last month’s article, here is a new feature where readers can get to meet members of the Kibworth On-Call crew and find out more about what we do and what the job entails.

By the time you read this month’s Chronicle, we will have held our first CoCo morning in the village hall. What can that be, you might be asking? Well, it stands for ‘Coffee and Conversation’, so basically it’s a time when we are inviting you to join us for a cup of tea or coffee, naturally served with cake and biscuits, to have a friendly chat and to meet some new people.

Through the Chronicle, may I thank friends for their greetings on my return to Kibworth? 

Could you or your group use an additional cash injection, in fact up to £200, for an onging or upcoming community project?

Do we dare to hope that summer is finally starting to peek at us from around the corner?   The month started with a rare sunny bank holiday weekend, when thoughts probably turned to gardening and barbeques – lovely!

Osteopaths prioritise holistic care from head to toe. Transitioning to lighter footwear is imminent. While stylish shoes may tempt, they might not cater to foot health, especially if feet are sore or injured.
Shoe inspection reveals walking patterns and fit issues, which are crucial for foot health. Each foot is unique, but all are biomechanical wonders deserving proper care. Ill-fitting shoes can cause widespread body issues, from foot pain to backache.

It is noted that the house between The Railway Arms and the Old School Surgery is to be demolished and ten dwellings will be built on this site and its extensive plot to include 6 one-bedroom houses and 4 bungalows. This application was approved on Wednesday 1 May. See 22/00814/FUL.

Well, for the last few months we have certainly seen rainy days we thought would go on forever! Despite the grey days, every cloud has a silver lining: our ponds and water butts must be full to the brim and our gardens are lush with growth.
