 I work full time as a GP at South Leicester Medical Group.

The Grammar School Hall re-opened for business on 1 September.

The Well in 45 High Street, Kibworth, a Christian independent registered charity providing a caring hub for Kibworth and beyond, is looking for volunteers to work in their shop and Cafe.

Some of you will, through your own experience or by reading the many comments on social media, be aware that it is proving difficult for some to get through to the South Leicestershire Medical Group by phone.

There is a saying in the bible that it is better to give than to receive. I think when you are a child you might be puzzled by this but as you grow older you see how true it is.

The Kibworth & District Chronicle would be interested to hear your experiences of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Just before lockdown the Kibworth Isolation Relief Team was formed to help people who are isolating/vulnerable.

After spending a lot of time and effort on making changes to ensure that our venue meets the Covid-19 requirements, we are pleased to confirm that Kibworth Village Hall has re-opened to regular users.

At some stage in September and early October there is usually a spell of calm weather with decent day-time temperatures.

An aspect of anti-social behaviour is litter. No matter how many bins are provided, and emptied, there seems to be a steady stream of litter being left on streets and the parks.

The invisible have become visible, well for most of us. The refuse collectors, the supermarket staff, the nurses and support staff, even the doctors (not too sure about the doctors who may have a high profile particularly for the vulnerable) and the delivery drivers. Sorry if you have been left out. We have been taking these people for granted for too long. Hopefully, we will be more observant and appreciative of their services.

On 15 August we remembered 75 years of Victory in Japan. This brought back memories of my Great Uncle Oliver ‘Jack’ Crowdell who died aged 27 in Japan at the end of World War 2.

Fourth week of lockdown. On the whole, life is so much simpler, especially while we are blessed with beautiful weather and we actually have the time to enjoy Spring evolving before our eyes.
