Our last two meetings using Zoom were on 7 January and 4 February.

Well, at this time of year, we would ‘normally’ have just finished Panto and hopefully brightened a dull and dark January for our audiences. As we obviously can’t perform at present, we thought the following would lighten our way towards Spring!

Here is a picture of some of our Well-being Waves to mark Children’s Mental Health Week made by 3rd Kibworth Rainbows.

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.

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. 

The first days of the first lock down sent us reeling. It was a body blow, but to the heart as well. We regained our composure, regrouped,retrieved our youngest daughter from Uni, and created the best environment we could for her to complete her degree-she earned a First-so that was good!

Spirit at Play is a Horse Therapy charity. They offer opportunities to children and adults with learning disabilities, mental ill health and physical disabilities to improve their wellbeing by having calming interaction with horses in a safe and welcoming environment. This helps develop their self -confidence and develop vital life skills.

How useful has this new footpath been on Warwick Park?  Since the first lockdown it has been used, no doubt, countless times when folks have been taking their daily exercise. When the rains came in the autumn it was used in preference to the muddy recreation ground.  It’s a path that leads to the newly installed Multi Use Games Area (MUGA). And now with the arrival of snow it is one of the safer routes for getting around our village.
