I’d like to tell you this is Buddy’s favourite toy, but in reality it’s ours as it affords us a good 20-30 minutes of peace of an evening! 🙈🤣
Buddy has taken this on a trip on one of his many village tours over the garden wall! If found, please pop back over the gate or wall of The Orchards.
Many thanks

We have noticed a number of rats recently on the Green, running across our driveway and under cars parked on the Green.
I have asked Chris Fry to come and put baits in our front garden but I’m not sure this will address the whole problem as they’re coming from elsewhere on the Green. I’m reluctant to put bait on the Green in case we have some sort of liability but I’m happy to be advised.
I have reported it to Derbyshire Dales but I’m not confident they’re going to do anything Unfortunately it can only be submitted as a complaint.
If you know where they’re coming from or have any suggestions, please do let me know
Thank you
Caroline

Song Sung Blue (2025) is a biographical musical drama about Mike and Claire Sardina, a married couple who found success as a Neil Diamond tribute band named “Lightning & Thunder”. Starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, the film follows their journey through musical passion, financial struggles, personal tragedy, and resilience.
It is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name, highlighting the life of the real Milwaukee-based tribute act. Hugh Jackman plays Mike (“Lightning”) and Kate Hudson plays Claire (“Thunder”), showcasing their dedication to performing, even after personal health crises.
The film explores the highs and lows of their careers, including opening for Pearl Jam, alongside personal hardships, such as Claire’s leg amputation following a car accident.
It is described as a heartwarming “underdog story” about love, second chances, and passion for music, sometimes featuring a blend of humour and emotional drama.
The movie is written and directed by Craig Brewer and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the life of impersonators
The Guardian **** “Neil Diamond tribute act gets sweet treat of movie thanks to Jackman and Hudson”

Does anyone in the village own an entire black cat or has lost one. Has been around for a few weeks.
Very hungry. Doesn’t mind being stroked. Turned up injured last night but I couldn’t get close enough but he did eat .
Thanks

This weekend’s rate is £1.0300 ppl* for the Parwich, Tissington & Bradbourne Heating Oil Club
Oil Prices have had another roller coaster ride this week with Brent Crude going to over $120 per barrel but back down to $107 today, as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
If you wish to order, please ensure you make payment asap, as all offers can be withdrawn by suppliers over the weekend at any time, and product is on a first come, first served basis. Some suppliers have also added volume limits, so once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Our current estimated delivery timeframe for this weeks orders will be up to 10 working days and possibly longer, from when orders close on Monday. Please note this order is subject to supply limits and can be closed at anytime over the weekend.
Please note, deliveries are subject to weather and supply conditions, so please build in extra time for your oil deliveries and order earlier than usual, to avoid running out if your levels are on the lower side.
Estimated delivery times are currently 10 working days from when club orders close on Monday. Please also account for the upcoming bank holiday days in your delivery timelines. If you are low, or have less than 6 weeks winter supply left, this group order will not be suitable.

There appears to be no O2 signal. We’ve had a number of reports from around the village so seems like the mast is out again!🤬

The beautiful limestone Parwich War Memorial in Parwich churchyard has been cleaned and restored. It was originally erected in 1919, paid for by public subscriptions, and dedicated by the Bishop of Southwell. Now under the auspices of your Parish Council, a cleaning and restoration has taken place by Jack Sills of IMI, Nottingham.
The national War Memorials Trust contributed to half of the cost, with the rest of the funds coming through generous donations from the Royal British Legion, the Oddfellows, Parwich church, the village United Charities, and Longcliffe Quarries.
