Dear Editor,

It was the snowiest day of the year. 23cm of snow lay on surfaces and I donned my wellingtons for the first time in 20 years, worn, but still waterproof with a good grip. I plodded up to the paper shop only to find it closed with no lights on. At the same time a car drew up. The driver offered me a lift to the Co-op as it was the nearest shop to be open and to sell daily papers. Both the driver and I wanted the same thing. I accepted the lift with some relief as I didn’t plan to return empty handed. The door of the car
was frozen shut but with a struggle I got it open.

Following recent success, our Berkley Kibworth office will be moving to a new location from Monday 1 February 2021. We are moving to a prominent High Street location that locals will recognise as the former Queens florists. It is a fantastic space at the centre of the High Street. We hope the new office will be a great opportunity to be at the heart of the community.

If birds are not your thing, I apologise for my decision to dedicate two Nature Notes to the crow family.  However, this is a good time of year to get to grips with the identification of our six locally resident “crows”. This month I am concentrating on the four “black” crows and at a later date I will look at our two “colourful” crows and at some crows that you are unlikely to see in Leicestershire.

The recent snowfall in late January, brought some beautiful snow scenes around our villages. Gumley was turned into a Winter Wonderland by the deep covering of snow.
