At some stage in September and early October there is usually a spell of calm weather with decent day-time temperatures.

An aspect of anti-social behaviour is litter. No matter how many bins are provided, and emptied, there seems to be a steady stream of litter being left on streets and the parks.

The invisible have become visible, well for most of us. The refuse collectors, the supermarket staff, the nurses and support staff, even the doctors (not too sure about the doctors who may have a high profile particularly for the vulnerable) and the delivery drivers. Sorry if you have been left out. We have been taking these people for granted for too long. Hopefully, we will be more observant and appreciative of their services.

I am researching the history of my father Len Wright of Leicester.

Over the past few months you may have noticed a queue appearing from The Railway Pub in Kibworth early on Thursday mornings.

It seems like an age since our last article, when I said that rehearsals for The Vicar of Dibley were going well and we were on track for a June production!
