On the 7th and 10th December, these lovely ladies came along and created some stunning arrangements!
I demonstrated the design, explaining technique and use of materials, then the ladies each made their own arrangement.
A good time was had by all!
Thanks to Parwich Memorial Hall, and also Pam from Pam’s Bespoke Cakes for looking after us all and serving such beautiful cakes.
Look out for further Workshop dates!

St Peter’s Church was decorated with flowers for the Flower Festival which was held on Sunday 21st July.
The morning began with a Songs Of Praise service followed by tea and cakes being served throughout the day. Lots of visitors came into the church and admired the flowers and arrangements which had all come from local gardens.
Evie’s Art Group exhibited some of their work and Parwich Primary School had their display of artwork and flowers in the Lady Chapel. All of which looked beautiful and received some lovely comments.
The church looked and smelled incredible, and the flowers remained in place for the week following, for visitors to admire.
A very big ‘thank you’ goes to everyone who helped to make the event happen, for all their time, hard work, efforts, donations and support. Also to all those who gave so generously, it really is appreciated.
Thank you also to John Lord for the attached photographs of the festival.
We shall be having a meeting in the church on Tuesday 13 August at 7.30pm to chat about further events and the possibility of having another Flower Festival next year.
Everyone is welcome to attend, whether you were involved this year or may like to be in the future.
For more information please call Delia, 390758 or email: dee.pegg@btinternet.com

Firstly, thank you all so much for getting involved and helping to decorate our beautiful village for Easter, it’s been fantastic to see everyone’s creations whether they’ve entered the competition or not.
All the entries have been great, and it’s made Val and John’s job of judging them a real challenge. They’ve chosen their winners based on the love and effort put into creating them. The winners are:
Under 7’s: Doug and Lily
7 – 15’s: Eva Jones
15 up: Glynis D
Prizes will be delivered tomorrow!
Thank you to Val and John K for judging for us, and big thanks once again to everyone for joining in and making this very strange Easter a special one for us all.
Thanks and stay safe, Rosie

Parents of Parwich (Alsop-en-le-Dale, Ballidon and Pikehall) we hope your first week of home schooling is going well! We thought we’d try to lend a hand by setting your children a few challenges. First up a painting or drawing challenge, the title this week “My House”.
Can you paint or draw a better picture than me?
Paint or draw a picture of your house and ask a parent to email us a photograph of it. Your pictures will be featured in a special gallery here on the blog for all the village to see. The best picture will win an Easter egg and stand a chance of being on the cover of this years Parwich Wakes program! Be sure to send in your picture before Thursday 2nd April and look out for another challenge!
