Derek and I would like to thank everybody who contributed to make our Easter Egg Appeal so successful. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of people within the Kibworth community. In particular the children who attend Kibworth Mead Academy, numerous local business owners, and our very kind customers from The Railway Arms and O Hair hairdressers.

St Wilfrid’s Church is to live-screen the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Service of Thanksgiving.

The children of The Hunny Hive Day Nursery have been learning about people who help us. The Kibworth Fire Crew kindly came to the setting to visit and the children were delighted to be able to learn about the equipment and sit in the fire engine!

Weddings! Summer is the most popular season for marriage ceremonies. Usually expense is on the generous side and fascinators add colour to the occasion. However, I do recall one wedding, not so long ago, when the bride was almost left standing at the altar when the bridegroom failed to appear - cold feet!Unsurprisingly, they were never married!

People are being invited to join together for an extraordinary ‘pilgrimage’ between two communities in honour of a Leicestershire saint.

Readers are welcome to sing this to six verses of “While shepherds watched…"

Late April and early May is always Bluebell time. This year was no exception and the mild weather meant a particularly good display was to be enjoyed.

The Spanish Bluebell is commonly grown in our gardens. It is more vigorous than our native bluebell and can crossbreed with the native to create a fertile hybrid.
