The word ‘affirmation’ comes from the Latin meaning ‘to make strong’ and via Middle English with the sense of making firm. In terms of wellbeing an affirmation is a statement we repeat to ourselves and aim to achieve and live by.

My intention this month was to tell you about the insects that benefit from the Sallow, a tree in the Willow family. Not being particularly “good” on trees I needed to do some research. This was so interesting that the insects will have to wait until next month.           

I was born at Horsforth near Leeds, West Yorkshire in the springtime of 1935 and lived in Menston-in-Wharfedale, near Ilkley. I was the younger of twin boys, weighing only 3 lbs (pounds) at birth and not expected to survive, relying on being wrapped in cotton wool in the absence of incubators. But survive I did!

Walking across arable fields,  I have been surprised at how dry the ground is; already large cracks are visible everywhere. Despite this, Nature has followed its normal  sequence and readers walking up Church Road will have enjoyed the daffodils on the bank     below the church. The sound of children playing  in the parks during the Easter holiday is another sign that spring has arrived. Today I have  watched birds collecting material for building  nests. 

Rosie was born in Keyham but spent most of her childhood living in Oadby where she went to Leicester High School.  She studied Sports Science at Loughborough University.  In her twenties, she lived in the South of France for a short time and then moved to London where she worked as a PE teacher in a Prep School in Chiswick.  Now married with 3 children, she moved to Kibworth shortly before their first child started school in 2012.

Hello again. Thanks for taking the time to read article number two from Kibworth Fire Station.  It’s been a fairly quiet month for the station,  however within the last week we have attended  a domestic fire, a road traffic collision (Car vs  Motorbike) and a van that ignited after collid ing with a canal bridge wall.
