Strollers
In September we had a delightful visit to Gaulby and Kings Norton, led by Gail and Mary. These unspoilt rural villages have a number of historic houses and beautiful well-kept parish churches.
The walk finished at Gaulby church where local ladies made us feel very welcome and provided coffee and delicious cakes.
October walks will firstly be around a new wildlife reserve, recently donated to Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust, on the outskirts of Great Bowden, and secondly a stroll from Kibworth to Smeeton Westerby.

Poetry Group
Instead of a specific poet, this month Poetry group members will be choosing material with a theme of The Moon and Planets. It should make for some very interesting selections!

Wine Tasting
The group gathered at Jane Lacey’s home on Wednesday 30 September.
We sampled wines from Aldi and Waitrose. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon was had by all.
The first picture shows us before we started.

Pot Luck
On a very sunny 3rd September, eight of the Pot Luck group caught the early afternoon X7 Stagecoach bus to Brixworth to visit Fleur Fields Vineyard, owned and run by Bill, and his wife Flora, Hulme.
Bill, a sprightly 84-year-old, greeted us and showed round his small vineyard, telling us how he tends his vines and manages his crop. He also regaled us with stories of his former life, whilst we sampled eight glasses of wine - some fizzy, some white, pink and red. Not all the wine was drunk! Wine was purchased by some of the group, which was delivered free of charge to our home addresses. We caught the bus home afterwards.
We might be visiting again in September 2027 - watch this space.

Breast Cancer Charity Event
Well what an amazing event yet again this year! We were so lucky with the weather again, which enabled us to set up some tables outside. This is the fourth year of holding this event and I’m sure it gets better every year. The final total raised was: £2,477.50.
I couldn’t do it without all the help and support from family, friends and local businesses.
Everyone works so hard to make this such a special village occasion; Kibworth is amazing.

I must thank Bridge 67, Julian’s hairdressing,
Kibworth Co-op (for supplying tea, coffee and milk), Kibworth book shop (for donating gift vouchers for the raffle), and also the many people who donated cakes, bottles, gift bags, raffle prizes, JustGiving donations and the most valuable thing, their time!
