Andy Shore describes himself as a self-taught artist who likes to dabble with all painting mediums, but it was his personal watercolour technique that he demonstrated to the Kibworth Art Lovers in our April meeting.

I have been treating patients from all walks of life in Northamptonshire for the past 22 years, but very recently I moved to Kibworth, where I look after my patients from my dedicated treatment room at home (Talako Therapies). Chiropractors are most known for treating spine problems, such as neck and back pain, but we are trained in treating disorders of the joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves in the whole body. When someone comes to see me, I look at them as a whole person, so as well as chiropractic treatment, I might also look into nutrition and where deficiencies might be perpetuating the symptoms, mental wellbeing/stress/anxiety, and exercise prescriptions.

Well, for the last few months we have certainly seen rainy days we thought would go on forever! Despite the grey days, every cloud has a silver lining: our ponds and water butts must be full to the brim and our gardens are lush with growth.

Our April speaker, Yuko Dixon, entertained us with an interesting and enjoyable evening of Japanese food. She began by telling us a little about her background. She lived in the USA before moving to the UK about 18 years ago. She set up her “own little world”, as she put it, with a background in marketing helping her to establish her business. As well as giving talks and demonstrations to groups such as ours, Yuko goes to people's homes to cater for parties and special occasions. She also teaches the art of preparing Japanese food to small groups.

Shoe inspection reveals walking patterns and fit issues, which are crucial for foot health. Each foot is unique, but all are biomechanical wonders deserving proper care. Ill-fitting shoes can cause widespread body issues, from foot pain to backache.

Benchmarking is a global practice, but in the UK at least, these symbols were made by officials from the Ordnance Survey and were often carved onto public buildings or structures that were expected to stand the test of time and be around for many years to come, enabling future surveyors to use them as a reference point for elevation. You’ll most often find them on town halls, railway bridges, churches or stone gateposts. However, like many other things, benchmarking eventually became an outdated practice, superseded by GPS and other digital technologies.

As winter turns to spring and the nights get shorter and lighter, some people might find it harder to get to sleep, or back to sleep, at night.
