"There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island." ~ Walt Disney

Last month we met the Hawthorn Fly. For June, Hawthorn features again; in a different capacity. Recently you may have noticed trees and hedges, including Hawthorns, covered in an apparent blanket of spider’s web. This is the work of a group of micro moths in the family Yponomeutidae, known collectively as the ermines.

The 20mph speed limit in Saddington is there for some very good reasons.

Living in a rural area & listening to Farming Today Catch Up on BBC Sounds has made me aware of the needs of our farmers and the challenges they face. Hence the idea for an event called The Farm Comes to Harborough in Harborough Town Square.

By the time this goes to print, we will have just finished running our two murder mystery evenings, performed for us by the Main Stage Theatre Company. These are always really popular nights which meant that the group were able to perform to capacity audiences. We have to thank the cast and crew for putting on two such professional and enjoyable shows. The profit is going towards our excellent new sound system.

The Kibworth & District Chronicle is not a dinosaur outfit living in the past! We have created our own QR code.

At now a quarter of a century old. It is to be found along Langton Road, Foxton and it’s a wonderful lasting display. It is the Foxton Millennium Avenue.

As part of our ongoing series introducing the dedicated team behind Kibworth’s On Call crew, we’re pleased to bring you another behind-the-scenes interview.

Illston on the Hill WI discussed the resolution at their latest meeting ‘Bystanders can be Lifesavers'. There are over 30,000 ‘out of hospital’ cardiac arrests per year in the UK. Less than one in ten people survive. This is why the WI urge the training and delivery of CPR, and to work with local organisations to help improve access to defibrillators in their communities, to give every person the best chance of surviving a cardiac arrest. Needless to say when put to the vote at Illston, it was unanimously agreed to carry forward the resolution to the Annual Meeting.

Embrace nature like never before! ‘30 Days Wild’ is The Wildlife Trusts annual challenge event, where we ask you to take on wild activities throughout June. There’s still time to get involved!
