The Editor's Letter
A very Happy New Year to you all from Kirton News. I’m pretty sure I wrote this exactly a year ago but 2026 just doesn’t feel real. It feels far too futuristic to even be writing it but here we are! I do hope you all had a happy time over the Christmas and New Year period. Unfortunately, I had that awful flu virus for a full two weeks so had to relinquish my cooking duties and was waited on hand and foot (that bit was alright)!
Once again, we held our annual Christmas Coffee Morning for our distributors. I think it gets better every year with some new faces and many familiar, all coming together to be thanked wholeheartedly for their service to our community.
I was saddened to hear about the passing of Jack Hall at 103 years of age. I interviewed Jack a few years ago as he neared his 100th birthday. He was so welcoming, full of stories and I honestly believe, fitter than I was! His son got in touch with us and you can read a little more about his life on Page 23.
Even though January and February feel like the longest, dreariest months, there are still lots of events in this issue if you can brave the cold!
We would love more of your contributions in 2026! If you have anything you’d like to say, someone you’d like to thank, a poem, recipe or a puzzle you’d like to share, get in touch! I’m always contactable at Editor@kirtonnews.co.uk.
Take care of yourselves and each other.
