I am researching the history of my father Len Wright of Leicester.

Over the past few months you may have noticed a queue appearing from The Railway Pub in Kibworth early on Thursday mornings.

It seems like an age since our last article, when I said that rehearsals for The Vicar of Dibley were going well and we were on track for a June production! 

The Kibworth School have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic candidate to join our friendly team.

Observed on Wistow Road, Kibworth Harcourt the attached sign affixed to the railings adjacent to the Midland Main Line railway track between Market Harborough and Leicester.

I am sure readers can not help but notice that our medium sized village (actually its two villages called Kibworth Harcourt and Kibworth Beauchamp) is expanding almost expeditiously with the building in recent times of Kibworth's new estates.

Like most societies, councils, community forums and groups of friends, The Kibworth & District Chronicle Management Committee has been holding its meetings online. Zoom, Google and Microsoft have really been helping with communication though most of us would really like to go back to face to face I suspect. Some of those meetings will have been to discuss finances and perhaps lack of funds for day to day running or future projects.

The final months of President Judy’s year have been “different” with meetings taking place on Zoom and a very active WhatsApp group. Hopefully keeping members in touch and smiling throughout the lockdown.

In the previous Nature Notes I wrote mainly about sound recording of night migrant birds. This time I am focussing on UK moth species, a group of insects often associated with nocturnal activity.

Since Lockdown began, the Rev. Alan Pyke has set himself the challenge of walking the distance from Lands End to John O’ Groats around Stuart Court – all 850 miles. So far, he is over the halfway mark and expects to reach John O’ Groats sometime in early September.
