I mislaid my mobile phone the other day. As I had switched it off, while in a meeting, I could not ring it on the landline to trace it. I gave up looking and went out to do some gardening. The day was fine after an early frost, and forking away, I felt invigorated and pleased with myself. Back indoors, later, for a coffee I listened to Radio 4 and caught one of my favourite programmes , “Just One Thing,” presented by Dr Michael Moseley. His latest offer for our consideration was entitled ‘Put your phone down.’ How apt and how informative.

Now this is a short one! Our contributors have been so busy that we received a record number of articles this month thus no room! No room to thank sincerely the wider Kibworth & District Chronicle team: contributors, editorial, advertising, printing, lay up, online, distribution and readers “Who have I missed out?” (A line you never want to hear Santa say) But what he does say as he eats yet another mince pie is,  “Have a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.” Cheers!

Let’s talk about exam stress, as a year 11 myself I know what it’s like.

When I was asked to write this month’s editorial, I was also requested to be brief as we had lots of copy. Well done contributors! You have been busy.

I am just putting this out there for discussion and possible action.

It wasn’t till the Boeing 777 put its nose into the air and reached for the clouds, that I believed that I was actually off to see son number two and family in Australia. So many Covid hoops had been crawled through. You do not jump at my age—that I was convinced I would never get there. Coming back five weeks later, things were much more relaxed. The faces of many travellers were visible for a start.

Dyakuyu,

Apart from the obvious, two other news items caught my attention recently; the Queen’s Accession, and the easing of Covid restrictions, particularly in relation to travel. This set me thinking about how life was for me in 1952.

I am delighted to share with you that Kibworth Osteopaths has been awarded Osteopath of the Year for Central England, for the second year in a row!
