“Life’s too short to wake up with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it” – Dr Seuss

Following the Christmas break, classes and events at the Hall are starting up again.

Mowsley residents were thrilled this year to be able to visit the decorated Advent Windows throughout the village. The variety of creative ideas on show was amazing and all were deserving of the rounds of applause given.

Work has resumed after a fortnight’s break over Christmas and the New Year.

It’s been quite a run for me. My first fitness class was in 1994, I finally closed the doors for good in October last year. The support for my classes has been overwhelming these past 27 years. This was especially during times when I’ve had to stop and start due to an on-going bowel disease. Mainly I could carry on as normal but there were several times I needed surgery and the support from my 70-strong regular ladies was always amazing.

Dear Editor

Has food and drink been consumed to excess in gatherings at Christmas? Or, has too little been eaten and drunk - is this latter possible at Christmas? For many this midwinter (midwiner?) festival provides a welcome relief from the long nights and short days. The turning of the year and a pretext for a tsunami of food and drink.
