What’s Going On? – April 2024
Four years on from the very first lockdown
Where have all the painted stones, teddy bears and rainbows gone? Do we still value our NHS? A very recent survey states we are less satisfied than we once were. Perhaps we should have a special day, an NHS day, in the calendar and fetter everyone who works in this organisation who live in your street with a free lunch etc and love and respect. They did an amazing job. I would suggest 16th May as this the date of the end of the first lockdown.
Brown tourist signs everywhere
Suddenly there is a rash of brown signs indicating the way to one of our local tourist attractions, Windmill Farm Park. Installed just prior to the new tourism season each enterprise concerned pays for their signs and subsequent installation and not the local highways authority who give their approval on size and information given so they are a considerable business investment.
Fields of Blue
(not the former British jazz group called Field of Blue!)
Flax is now becoming more common in the fields around Kibworth, taking the place of the heady smell of Oilseed Rape. Is Linseed oil and seed the new cash crop? Perhaps our farming readers can advise on this please.
