One of our local artists is looking for a space to use as a studio. It needs to have light and ideally a power point so a heater could be plugged in if needed. If you have any spare space that might be suitable, please either leave us a comment or email the blog and we will put you in touch with the artist. Thank you.

Possible oil buying co-op
Posted in Classified adverts, Oil, Services on Monday February 1, 2010| 3 Comments »
Updated 2nd Feb: Since posting the information below, Karen Carpenter has offered to ring round different Oil Suppliers to get an overview of how various companies would work with local syndicates. Rather than having only one company attending the meeting, Peak Oil will be asked for their ideas, but not invited to the meeting.
A Peak Oil representative has asked Karen Carpenter (Derbyshire Dales District Council) if he could attend the open meeting at the Sycamore Inn on Thursday 11th Feb. She contacted me as the only member of the Blog Team whose phone number she had. We both felt that he may have useful information to share, but obviously it is essential that any co-op is not tied to any specific company. Consequently he will be offered a slot near the start of the meeting but will be asked to leave for the main discussion.
However, if anyone else has strong views on a company rep. attending the meeting please leave a comment, contact Karen Carpenter or email parwich@hotmail.co.uk.

Grey cat found
Posted in Classified adverts, Pets of Parwich on Thursday January 28, 2010| 1 Comment »
Has anyone lost a smokey grey cat (young male)? The cat looks well cared for, and has obviously not been out in the wild for any length of time.
I noticed a cat miaowing outside our door last night, and it didn’t want to go away. I let it in, in case it had been abandoned. It stayed overnight, even though we have a cat flap where it could have gone out. I put the cat out this morning when I went to work, and have come back this evening and it’s still here.
Does anyone own, or know who owns this cat – please contact the website (parwich@hotmail.co.uk ) to be re-united with your cat.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Keeley

Interested in Walking – Can you help?

Hi, as a family we have had 2 wonderful summer holidays in Parwich and quite a few nights in the pub and British Legion! I regularly log on to your site to keep in touch with what’s going on in Parwich.I will be staying in Cowdale for a week’s holiday from the 6th March and I was wondering if any of your residents would be interested in joining me for walks in Parwich and the surrounding area? I’m not too familiar with the peaks so someone with knowledge of the area would be ideal. I’m pretty fit, so distance is not an issue.I would be thankful if you could find a small place for my advert on your wonderful website? Many thanks Derek 07888693692 or email me at desneale@sky.com

Child’s ski jacket sought
Posted in Classified adverts on Friday December 11, 2009| 1 Comment »
Does anyone local happen to have a warm water/snow/windproof ski jacket (doesn’t matter how well used) to fit a five year old, that they would be happy to lend for a few weeks, please?
Our grandson has come over from Australia and is due to go skiing next month and we don’t reckon the little fleece he brought with him (it’s sweltering in Sydney at the moment) will be quite up to it.… We have scoured the charity shops (thanks, Debs) very successfully for everything else, but have failed completely to find a jacket.
We’d be very grateful for any offers – do phone us on 519.
Thank you so much.

Does anyone have a home for Dodo?
Posted in Classified adverts on Thursday December 3, 2009| 3 Comments »
Duoduo (pronounced “Dodo”) is an eight month
old pedigree Yellow Labrador, who currently lives
in Nottingham.
Sadly, her current owner is unable to keep her.
She is therefore in need of a good, loving
home and would no doubt enjoy the fields
around Parwich.
She is fully house trained, but could do with
additional puppy training.
Her current owner wants to ensure that
she goes to the right home and does not
want any money for her, provided she is
well looked after.
As an added bonus, Dodo’s owner is also
happy to pass on her sizeable cage, also
free of charge.
If you feel that she would fit into your family,
please contact Kevin S. via the blog team
(parwich@hotmail.co.uk) and we will put you
in direct contact with her current owner.
Update: As a result of this blog post, we have already been approached by a local family, who are interested in offering Dodo a new home. We’ll keep you posted.
Home wanted for X Box and games
Posted in Classified adverts on Wednesday November 25, 2009| 2 Comments »
Does anyone want our X Box? It is the old version not the 360, but still works fine.
I don’t think they make new games for it anymore, but we have quite a few games you could have with it, controllers etc. We don’t want any money for it, just don’t want to throw it away.
If no-one wants it, does anyone have any ideas what we could do with it? I don’t think charity shops take electrical items. I did try to join freecycle once but it was rather complicated and put me off.

Guinea Pig dilemma
Posted in Classified adverts, Pets of Parwich on Sunday October 18, 2009| 3 Comments »
One of our guinea pigs has recently died of old age leaving her 2 year old companion Millie. We do not want to get rid of her; but equally do not want her to be on her own. We are reluctant to get another young guinea pig friend for her; as we are nearing the end of our guinea pig years and if we keep replacing one, can’t quite see how it will end! Does anyone also have a guinea pig in need of companionship who would like Millie? She is used to over wintering in a frost free greenhouse (in her hutch) and going out, weather permitting, in a run on the grass in the day. Both hutch and run could go with her to a good home.

MISSING DOG – PLEASE HELP!!!!
Posted in Classified adverts on Thursday July 30, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Our very very loved, but very very naughty Golden Retreiver, BART has been missing for approx 16 hours. Although Bart is renowned for “razzling” and running off, it is usually only for about 1 hour max.
We are very worried about him, if anyone should see him, please please let us know! If you don’t know Bart, he is a very dark, almost ginger Golden Retriever, very skinny. He is wearing a blue collar with Tag. (Known by some as the Ginger Fox!) Please, please can everyone keep a look out for Bart, we are all desperately worried about him and want him home.
Please contact us on 01335 390 677 or 0770 290 9484 nicki@theclosefarm.co.uk
THANK YOU!!!!!
This info from Nicki was sent in as a comment, but we have put it in as a post, in the hopes that someone will be able to find Bart. If we can add a photo we will.
Looking for a house to rent

This post has been emailed into parwich@hotmail.co.uk
Hello. My name is Diane Brown. At the moment I live in Atlow where I have lived for 12 years. I am looking for a house to rent for now, with a possibility of buying in the longer term: preferably somewhere with 4 bedrooms. I’m sure you’ll all agree that Parwich is a beautiful village, so of course I am interested in finding somewhere there.
I run my own business Potions Club which some of the children in your village have been to, so I’m already a bit known in Parwich. I have been keeping an eye out on your website and will continue to do so. Thank you very much.
Diane Brown (please email via Potions Club on info@potionsclub.com)
