Kirkby Malzeard, North Yorkshire, UK

Summer is on the way!

This is when we realise how lucky we are to live in the country. I once heard someone say how boring it was in the country - I beg your pardon?! Every time you go out something new is happening - the hedges are showing green and the horse chestnut buds are beginning to burst open. The birds are singing their hearts out.

Not only are we lucky to live in the country, we are lucky to live in this village. There is so much going on, so leave your armchairs, firesides, televisions, computer games etc and join in one of the many activities available. Here are some examples.
