Wood Wide Web This is not a typing/laptop mistake, it is taken from a book that I was recommended to read. It is written by the colourfully named Merlin Sheldrake and entitled 'Entangled Life.' All praised by, no less authorities than, Robert Macfarlane and Helen MacDonald. For a biologist or better still a botanist this book would give 'insider' knowledge of an important, possibly familiar, and revelatory nature but as a non-biologist or botanist. I found reading the book like walking in the dark through unfamiliar land. I came out of it better informed, it was a worthwhile read! I learned that mushrooms are the fruit of the fungi and the truffle is the most precious!

The parish council monthly public meeting on 22 November was held in the Studio at the Kibworth Grammar School Hall.

Following on from the success of our concert in October, we were very excited to hand over £1,000 to each of our chosen charities for the event – COPS (Care of Police Survivors) and GEMS. Both Peter Fahy and Tim Buckley from COPS were absolutely  made up and chuffed to bits! Amazing – you put the fun into fundraising!”

Advent Window decorating is yet again taking place in Mowsley to celebrate and enjoy the arrival of Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ.

Traditional: (Above) David and Martin recently invited the ladies of Kibworth and Smeeton WI to their home, Kibworth Hall for an afternoon of traditional carol singing with prosecco and mince pies. A fabulous time was had by all.

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!

It has been an action packed term of sport at Kibworth Mead Academy. Mr Hill settled in as the new Head of PE, a virtually all new PE department inspired a new dawn of sporting success and participation.

The Tur Langton Parish Council Meeting took place on Tuesday 8 November in the village hall, Tur Langton.

Interesting to see upwards of 50 horses with riders in full hunting attire and a smaller number of tail-wagging beagles processing along Smeeton Westerby High Street on the morning of Saturday 26 November. A rural spectacle?

KGSH are sad to announce that at the last trustees meeting, Paul Scourfield said that he was stepping down as a trustee.
