February Reflections: Community Spirit, Muddy Walks & Highlights
Dear Parishioners of Bubwith, Breighton and Willitoft
Thankfully, February is the shortest month of the year.
I’m sure that like me you’ll be pleased to see the back of it and all the rain that came with it. Our public rights of way have been under pressure with either water or deep thick sticky mud and we’ve renamed the Bubwith Walking Group the Bubwith Waders! Fortunately, there continues to be a wide selection of fitness and wellbeing activities on offer at the Leisure Centre to keep us occupied and dry, so do have a look to see what might interest you.
On a more serious note, our sympathies go out to folk in and around Breighton who, in addition to excesses of water, have had their accessible road between Bubwith and Breighton closed for work on high voltage underground cables. I do hope this is now concluded and normality has returned.
On a lighter note, BAmDram gave another fabulous performance in their production of ‘A Lad In’, in early February, Local script writers, local direction and local performers. Witty and wonderfully performed, who knew we had such a wealth of talent in our midst. Roll on the next one and a hearty thanks and congratulations to all involved.
The Pop-Up Café at the Community Centre on Breighton Road has now gone back into its box as the ever-popular Church Café reopened its doors on 9th February 2026. My thanks to those who made the pop up a success and my sincere thanks and admiration to those who run the Church Café. Their dedication in keeping the cafe open should not be underestimated and is much to be admired. You will receive a warm welcome and some great food with an opportunity to admire the inside of our lovely church and have a good chat.
Our editor in chief has informed me this is a weighty edition of the Bugle and as such I should keep my bit short. I do hope you enjoy the half-term break, I will be sampling the Bakerloo Line in London with my train mad grandson, bliss!
Best wishes. Sandra Hills
