Once Christmas commitments have been fulfilled, gardeners traditionally use January and February to plan for the new growing year. In most domestic gardens we are thinking small scale, from microscopic fungi and bacteria that provide healthy soils, through beneficial insects that might be pollinators or pest controllers, on to garden birds which can also help us with pest control.

Life continues to be busy at the Hub.

This month we are announcing the launch of a new social games group. It is run by the Local Area Coordinator, Amy. The first session will take place on the 6 February. Thereafter it will be held on the first and third Tuesday of the month for a couple of hours. It’s a free, friendly group for anyone who would like to meet new people in a relaxed environment. Bring your favourite games to play with others. There’s no need to book, you can just turn up.

“A new year, a fresh, clean start! It’s like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on! A day full of possibilities! It’s a magical world, Hobbes, ol’ buddy… let’s go exploring!” Bill Watterson, It’s A Magical World: A Calvin and Hobbes Collection

Some of this advice might seem obvious, but there are some simple things we can do to help other people feel safer when they're out in public. 

Please be aware that the last collection from the Postbox next to the Kibworth Old School Surgery on Station Street in Kibworth, is now at 9:00am rather than 4:45pm.

And though the mud could not disappear, the children did play at the opening of the newly refurbished play park at Robert Monk Village Hall on Middle Street Foxton on Saturday 30th December. Rising cleanly above the mud to be enjoyed was a new functional play tower and a bespoke inclusivity play tower for children in wheelchairs. Lots more now for children to experience along with the more traditional swings and slide.

On Saturday 30 December members of Foxton Environment Group planted a young sapling to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III.

When writing a date recently, how many times have you put ‘23’ instead of ‘24’? Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, but we know that, sadly, not everyone did.
