Interestingly, we have connections to Russian Royalty in Leicestershire. In last month’s Kibworth & District Chronicle, ‘Duggie’s Ramblings’ referred to an obituary, HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

We are undertaking a mammoth task of digitalising the entire Kibworth & District Chronicle back catalogue. The Chronicle has published over 400 editions, since it was founded in April 1978.

From Monday 12 April all boaters were finally allowed to move. Hire boats could start up again, albeit still with restrictions on numbers and households.

Following the recent AGM, Joan Fillingham has stood down as chair of KGSH. Joan has been an excellent chair, hardworking, diligent and popular with both her fellow trustees and the staff. I am pleased to report that Joan has agreed to stay on as a trustee. We look forward to her continued input into the running of the hall.

April (display) through to August (young birds with adults) are the months when some of the best opportunities arise for photographing grebes.

How interesting to have two articles on the Mason family in Issue 429; THE MULTITASKING VICTORIAN by Glyn Hatfield
and THE VILLAS by Stephen Butt.

On Sunday 25^th April, a group of seven Kibworth based South Leicestershire Litter Wombles met up to start clearing some of the historic fly-tipping along Mill Lane.

In April’s Nature Note we looked at the sallow or goat willow. I am sure that if you had a go at identifying the butterfly in one of the pictures, you will have concluded that it was a peacock.
