Classical Concert in Ashbourne by London Concertante
Posted in Events on Sunday November 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last year the London Concertante played in Ashbourne for the first time, their lead violinist has moved to Carsington so it was a ideal venue. There were a few of us in the audience from Parwich and we thoroughly enjoyed a Christmas Baroque Concert. The church was full, so it is worth prebooking your seats [...]

Tom’s first 10 may not be enough
Posted in Tom Chambers on Saturday November 29, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Tom and Camilla’s waltz split the judges, gaining a 10 from one and a 7 from another. Their total score of 70 for both the waltz and the samba placed them in their lowest position so far on the judges’ leader board; second from bottom. So the public phone vote will be very important this [...]

It’s 7.50pm, you’ve still got 10 minutes left to get over to The Green for your supper. The fish & chips definitely gets the thumbs up from the Bennett home. The fish was light and not heavily battered, the chips tasty & appropriately “soggy” (just perfect). Let’s hope it will be a regular destination for [...]
