Great Glen Community WildSpace were
delighted to be awarded the Cleaner and Greener Award from the Rural Community
Council (Leicestershire & Rutland).
The judges were impressed by the work of GGCWS at the Sence Meanders
WildSpace at the recreation ground and their links with St Cuthbert's CE
Primary school. The children take part
in a project 'Seed to Tree' collecting tree seeds and nurturing them in the
school's tree nursery until they are big enough to plant out in the school
grounds or the village. All are welcome
to a Public Consultation meeting to share ideas for the extension to the Sence Meanders WildSpace on land owned
by Harborough DC Stretton Road
LOROS Hospice - A virtual tour of their facilities
can be seen on their website http://www.loros.co.uk Contrary to many people's understanding
LOROS is not a place for people to go to die.
They are real experts in making the most of the rest of life (far better
than hospitals) and they help not only the patient but also their
relatives. People receiving are from LOROS usually do so as day visitors,
they usually only stay in the hospice for as long as it takes to sort out their
medication, etc. LOROS assist with
nursing at home. Why not have a look
online to learn more about LOROS? It's
best to find out about these things when you don't need them - and you might
one day be able to help someone else by passing on what you have discovered.

Humour is a gift – A boy's
confession. "Bless me Father, for I
have sinned. I have been with a loose
girl." The priest asks, "Is
that you, little Joey Pagano?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And who was the girl you were with?" "I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation". "Well Joey, I'm sure to find out her
name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?" "I cannot say." The Priest then tries the names of four other
girls without success. The priest sighs
in frustration. "You're very tight
lipped and I admire that. But you've
sinned and have to atone. You cannot be
an altar boy now for four months. Now go
and behave yourself." Joey walks
back to his pew and his friend whispers "What'd you get?" "Four months vacation and five good
leads."
Hearing Loop – St Andrew’s Church at Burton Overy has a
