You could read about national politics. Boring. Or you could read about a town where a swan is a celebrity. Where a overdue cookbook starts a council debate. Where a traffic cone becomes a folk hero.
Ashby-de-la-Zouch is a reminder that life is fun if you look at it sideways. It’s quirky. It’s weird. It’s proudly un-serious.
So next time you hear “Ashby news,” don’t yawn. Get excited. Because the headlines aren’t about war or taxes. They’re about Doris’s mustache and hail that hates a specific scarecrow.
And honestly? That’s the best kind of news there is.
