Spring is the season of movement — gardening, cleaning, hiking, and tackling to-do lists that sat dormant all winter. But before you jump into action, take a moment to consider the foundation of all movement: your spine. After months of cold weather and limited activity, your body may not be ready for a sudden surge in physical tasks, especially now the nice weather seems to have arrived! Here’s how to prepare your spine for a healthier, pain-free Spring.

The Coombes family is on the move—just a few miles down the road (rest assured—the clinic stays put!). But distance doesn’t dampen the stress of a house move, whether it’s five miles or 500!

We first started the Open Day in 2017, opening the farm gates to the general public.  The aim then was to highlight the link between food and farming. Now nine years on that message is more important to us than ever.  It was great to see that so many people are interested to learn about our farming practices, our animal welfare ethos and how we provide sustainable meat through our butcher’s shop in Kibworth.  With approximately 600 people attending, we had a fantastic turnout. So much so that I understand that the village of Smeeton Westerby was brought to a stand still.  But what a wonderful sight to see, our community coming together to celebrate local food and farming right on our doorstep.  For those who attended, we thank you for your support.

Ash Tree Vets are hosting an Open Evening on Thursday 27 March, from 7.15 – 8.15pm at their Kibworth Practice situated at 9 Priory Business Park, Wistow Road, Kibworth LE8 0RX.

Once again we are looking forward to welcoming you into the calving and lambing sheds at our annual Open Day, on Saturday 22 March at Binleys Bridge Farm, Debdale Lane, Smeeton Westerby, LE8 0QD. Come down to the farm between 11am – 5pm to see the cows calving and sheep lambing. We will hopefully have a few pigs for you to see too.

Tension headaches, lasting for hours or even days, are often caused by stress, poor posture, and muscle tension in the neck/shoulders and are something that I regularly treat in my clinic. Instead of relying on painkillers, chiropractic care offers natural, effective ways to relieve tension headaches, and understanding what triggers them can help you take preventative measures:

‘We Are Kibworth’ are planning a number of activities over the Easter period for you and your families to get involved in: we will be running an Easter colouring competition; an Easter Egg Hunt and a Decorate Your Own Egg competition.  

Just four years after opening, we are absolutely thrilled to announce we have been shortlisted for the Midland Best Butcher as part of the Countryside Alliance Awards 2025. Out of thousands of nominations, we are so pleased to make it to the final five on the shortlist.

A reader has reminded us that the staff at Boboli’s were very professional but are now jobless since the restaurant closed. Regular customers were effusive about the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and how they made sure everyone had a great time. We know that it is a tough time for them, especially since the hospitality industry is still shrinking.
