Happy New Year to everyone!  We hope that you all had a nice Christmas.  If like many you were afflicted by one of the many bugs doing the rounds over the last few weeks, or are currently suffering, we hope that you feel better soon.

It is not unusual for patients to say to me on their first appointment “I have tried everything, nothing helps alleviate my pain and I am not sure what you can do to help me.”

With the New Year upon us many of us will be embarking on a new and improved health and fitness regime. The New Year tends to bring New Year’s resolutions and more motivation to hit the gym and improve our eating habits. This is great but how long does it last? With most New Year’s resolutions over before the third week of January you may have already given up by the time you read this. If this is you then The Fitness Box is here to help!

Kibworth Village Hall Committee is mourning the loss Trudy Lakin, one of our committee members, who unfortunately passed away just before Christmas. Trudy was active up until the very end, and despite being extremely ill she still found time to think of others and to contribute to our committee meeting just days before she passed away.

Why do so few people seem to realise the seriousness of our situation regarding the climate and our way of life? It is so good that the majority of us are making changes but scientists and others are telling us that it’s not fast enough.

Our December fun began when David and Martin invited us to Kibworth Hall for an afternoon of carols. Between singing along with us, they served us Prosecco and warm mince pies and we thank them for making us so welcome in their beautiful home.
