Locally there are three lovely spring gardens to visit during April which are taking part in the National Garden Scheme (NGS) open gardens.

We know from satellite tracking and from leg-ring numbers that many Ospreys have two homes. Birds that breed at Rutland Water are with us from March until August, fly back to Africa and are there from September/early October until February. Pairs do not stay together in winter but each returns to a favoured feeding area, often perching in the same trees once back to their winter “home”. We like to think of these birds as “our” birds as they raise their offspring with us. If we lived in West Africa we would no doubt welcome the birds back “home” in September and enjoy them as “our” birds for the next five months or so.

Kibworth Community Hub latest. We are pleased to announce that our fundraising efforts to develop the Hub are beginning to bear fruit. We are hoping to start building phase one, the new library, soon. Recently, members of the steering group visited Moulton Community Centre. Both interesting and rewarding to see what can be achieved. Moulton hosts the community library as well as several different groups which serve the local area. If our plans are fulfilled, we are confident that the Hub will be a valuable asset for Kibworth for many years to come.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a coffee morning and table top sale on Saturday 13 April in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN, from 10am until 12.45pm.

The South Leicestershire Medical Group in conjunction with Easy Stepz (a Health and Wellbeing training provider) will be offering a FREE training course to Community organisations and groups.

But what was the year?

It is not unusual for a street to be named after prominent members of the community. For instance, Market Harborough has several of these thoroughfares and one example of this is Logan Street off Coventry Road. 

At Leicestershire’s Home Library Service we believe that everyone should have access to the joys of reading and the incredible services that our libraries offer. However, we know that for many people with health challenges, limited mobility or caring responsibilities, accessing the local library can be difficult.   This is where the Home Library Service steps in – this FREE service offered by Culture To You at Leicestershire County Council ensures that reading remains accessible to everyone. 

Organised by the Climate Coalition, the ‘Great Big Green Week ‘is a celebration by people all over the country.  It’s taking place this year between Saturday 8 June and Sunday 16 June. The Green Street for local organisations and charities, is returning to the Harborough Carnival on Saturday 8 June too.
