Cave de Lugny Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs (Waitrose £14.99)

What better way to round off your Kibworth’s Late Night Shopping evening (set to be Wednesday 7 December, 6-9pm), than by popping into The Lighthouse for a tasty takeaway of fish and chips, pizza, hot soup or mulled wine and a sprinkling of festive cheer?

At just the right time, premises became available right next door to our café (the former Gems charity shop), and the trustees agreed to take on the lease and move the food bank in, so that it could keep operating, after our café was allowed to re-open.

Well, this idea is going to be a reality! Commencing on Monday 31 October, the Welcome Kitchen will open its doors and you, and that means everyone, will be able to join others at Kibworth Grammar School Hall (main hall) for friendship and enjoy a bowl of nourishing soup prepared by our resident cook, Jenny.

For 42 years, most of you will know that Colin was a familiar face behind the counter at Williams, the butchers shop in Fleckney. However, some customers are still asking “Where’s Colin?”. We are delighted to tell you that he is just a stone’s throw away, working at Bridge 67 Butchers in Kibworth. He has been working there for the past two years and is still making his famous ‘Colin’s Sausages’.

In the 1980s Chilean Merlot became very popular but caused confusion by tasting different from Merlot produced elsewhere.
