If birds are not your thing, I apologise for my decision to dedicate two Nature Notes to the crow family.  However, this is a good time of year to get to grips with the identification of our six locally resident “crows”. This month I am concentrating on the four “black” crows and at a later date I will look at our two “colourful” crows and at some crows that you are unlikely to see in Leicestershire.

My name is Jane Rayner a local girl from Kibworth. I’m currently starring in the reality TV series, the Real Housewives of Jersey.

Kibworth Grammar School Hall is looking for new Trustees.

The recent snowfall in late January, brought some beautiful snow scenes around our villages. Gumley was turned into a Winter Wonderland by the deep covering of snow.

All on the committee were saddened not to celebrate Burns Supper recently (the Village Hall’s key fundraising event).

Teachers, teachers leave those kids alone; Pink Floyd's lyrics do not accurately describe the situation as it is now. However, the kids, many kids are being left alone and at home with parents and grandparents who are thrust into the role. This role ever was the introduction of Universal Education by the post war Labour Government and has been passed to professionally trained teachers (the preparation was the work of R.A. Butler, a member of the national wartime government and the resulting1944 Education Act). 

Earlier today I walked into Kibworth to do some shopping. I came across this token in a clear wallet laying on the ground. I was curious and looked closer.
