Update: A new home has now been found for this puppy
Home urgently needed for our beautiful KC registered Apricot standard poodle boy – currently 13 weeks old.
We are reluctantly selling our beautiful Apricot standard poodle boy which we purchased from a registered breeder only last weekend. Unfortunately our son has turned out to be allergic to the puppy so we are left with the sad realisation that the puppy has to go.
The puppy has such a wonderful loving, playful nature and behaves superbly with our son.
He is KC registered, microchipped and all of his vaccinations are up to date.
**Included in the sale if you so wish: Wicker basket with cushion and blanket, dog crate, large selection of toys, water and food bowl, lead and collar – all brand new. **
Please contact Chloe/James on 01335 390175 for more information.

Thank you to all who bought plants last week, just over £50 went to the Carnival & Recreation Committee. This week proceeds will go to Parwich Church. There are still a range of herbaceous plants, shrubs, kitchen garden plants and others, including a large forsythia and a large dogwood which has bright red stems in winter.
If no one is about help yourself to the plants at the gate for Church Farm in Creamery Lane and leave what you think is a fair price in the honesty box. Everything must go.

Chair has now been rehomed
Unfortunately we can’t really fit this very comfy Habitat armchair into our house now so it is going free to anyone who wants it. We could deliver in the village or nearby.
It does have some cat damage (visible in the photos) but is otherwise in good condition.
Call 01335 216238 if you are interested.

I have two Rowan trees looking for a new home. They are 8 to 10 feet tall with a nice upright shape and should grow to about 15 feet. They have creamy white flowers to come shortly and pale pink berries which last all winter.I made a mistake in my planting scheme and they are now surplus to requirements. They were potted up in March and could do with getting into the ground asap.Free to a good home or donations to the Legion garden (plants or cash) would be welcome in exchange.Nina Martin at Fernlea (opposite memorial hall)

Apart from Lester Lowes, does anyone know where we could get a bulk supply of bark / wood chippings relatively cheaply? It’s for the hen area so it doesn’t need to be top grade. If you can help please comment below, or call Rob and Emma (203 / 07812 996 851).

Mavis Dale lost her husband Frank just over a year ago and, having been married for 61 years, Mavis knew she had to find something to do to help fill the gap. Spurred on by a request from her teacher granddaughter Becky, Mavis rose to the challenge of writing a story about an animal and a spaceship! An unusual combination but one requested by Becky’s class. Mavis didn’t stop there. Inspired by village life and her family, Mavis created several short stories suitable for children. Advised by her neighbour Ian Johnston to contact the Peak Advertiser, Mavis became an author in print.
Mavis considers herself to be very much a Parwich person. Born in Brassington as Mavis Swindell, the family moved to Lenscliffe when Mavis was 3 years old. Mavis attended Parwich school and then passed her 11+ to attend the grammar school in Ashbourne. Until a bus was provided Mavis and others had to walk to Alsop Station to catch the train to Ashbourne to get to school, a mode of transport which Mavis enjoyed.
As a young woman Mavis worked in the offices at Ballidon which is where she met husband- to- be lorry driver Frank Dale. Mavis took the initiative, casually suggesting that Frank might like to come to Parwich Wakes. Frank turned up and that was the start of a courtship which culminated in marriage at Parwich Church in 1954. They started married life in Frank’s home county of Staffordshire before moving to South Wingfield and then fulfilled Mavis’s desire by returning to Parwich, the place she considered to be home, when they moved to Springfields in 1967 with their two sons Alan and Stephen.
Despite having a family to look after, and later grandchildren to spend time with, Mavis was kept busy with doing the paperwork for the haulage business. She is still involved in this side of the business, working alongside her daughter- in- law Caren.
Mavis likes to keep busy and we may well have the pleasure of reading more of her tales in the future.
Her booklet of delightful short stories can be bought from Mavis at £4.50, 50p of which will go to Children in Need. Copies are also available at Nethergreen Farm.
