School Memories

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor

I wanted to write to apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused by the closure of the pavement at 70 High street in Kibworth. 

A Kibworth resident has written to HDC Planning Enforcement. Reference :23/000/79/COMS: non-compliance of landscaping and ecology for 16/00166/OUT-David Wilson Homes Land north of Fleckney RoadKibworth Beauchamp(Now known as Cuckoo Drive Estate)

The Grammar School was a sharp contrast to my private school education up to the age of eleven. The Headmaster, for most of my time there, was Mr Daw. Shortly after arriving at Kibworth, my father presented me with a limerick he had written to mark the occasion:

This year I have the honour of being President of Kibworth Bowling Club and my chosen charity is Admiral Nurses, which is being set up by Dementia UK to provide help to those suffering from dementia in the same way that Macmillan do for those affected by cancer. 

On Sunday 4 June I took a bad fall in my buggie. Very many thanks to the people who were very kind in giving their time to stop and help me on my way and offer a lift to the Co-op or home. This was very much appreciated. All of you, my thanks many times over.

Hermann Ludwig’s history

I am researching my family tree and I would like to ask for your help. I have read a beautiful obituary (25 June 2020) for Betty Bateman, who died 17 April 2020. I am certain she is my grandmother’s niece. I never met her but have fond memories of her mother Florence.
