Lovely to be invited to the Mayor of Charnwood's Civic Service last night at All Saints Parish Church in Loughborough - a great event, in particular the Mayor's moving reading of the Mayoress's 'The Floods and Community - Reflections'. This is what this borough is all about.

Burns Night is nearly upon us! We're sorting the wee drams, dusting off our kilts and wiping down the bagpipes. There's still time to join us for a traditional supper, live bagpiping, poetry, toasts, bar, games, raffle.....what's not to like?
