Gill Simpson and family would like to thank you for all your kind wishes following Peter Simpson’s sad death last week. They would love to invite you to a celebration of his life on Friday June 9th at 3.15pm at Parwich Church followed by light refreshments at their home. Family flowers only please and a relaxed dress code.
The family are compiling a photo album of his life and would appreciate if any photographs of Peter could be emailed to pgsimpson29@gmail.com
Thank you.

I have a large wheelbarrow of apples from my garden which is available to you all and in return, all I ask is a donation.
I am also skipping everyday this month for Cancer Research UK and all contributions from the apples will go towards my final online total.
Due to the poor weather, the wheelbarrow is not on the driveway but drop me a line, bring a bag round and I’ll fill it with apples for you.
Thank you,
Alex

As many of you may know, our Ukranian guests have returned to Ukraine. Initially they went back to sort out documentation that was impossible to achieve from here. Since their return, they have felt relatively safe at home and have decided to stay there for the time-being.
If they decide to move on to another country, they will go to stay with family in USA.
We would like to thank everyone for the wonderful warm welcome that you gave to them and also for the huge amount of practical help that so many of you kindly offered and gave to them. While there were many logistical difficulties living in a village with limited transport they could not have been more warmly welcomed by you all.
Thank you
Paul and Caroline

We have received a letter for Laura Fordham, just addressed as Creamery Lane. If anyone knows what address Laura is at we can pop it in to her, or if you want to call to collect, we are at Barn Cottage on Creamery Lane.
Thanks

Please welcome Donna and Mark:
After what seems like an age we have finally made our big move to Parwich. We (Mark and Donna) moved in to Barn Cottage on Creamery Lane over the Easter Bank Holiday and whilst there is still A LOT of work to do on the house, we are settling in and are already loving life in Parwich. Thank you to everyone who has already said hello and introduced themselves whilst we have been finding our way around with our two dogs, Misty (black lab) and Tess (lurcher), we already feel very welcomed!
We decided to take the plunge and make our ‘escape to the country’ when we both found ourselves able to work from home. On the rare occasions when we have to venture to the office, I (Donna) am a digital project manager for the NHS in Leeds, and Mark is a software engineer for a small private company based out of Nottingham University delivering digital workflow solutions.
We moved from Clitheroe in Lancashire after falling in love with Parwich last year. We plumped for Barn Cottage as a project… it’s probably what you’d call ‘quirky’ and we have a long way to go with major renovations…. we plan to temporarily move out whilst we make the improvements and would love to be able to stay in the village during that time, so if anyone knows of anywhere that may be available for a six-month or so let, please let us know… we will do our utmost to cause as little disruption for everyone but please bear with us while we get there!
Aside from home (improvement) challenges and walking the dogs, we both love motorsports, F1 and MotoGP in particular, (that’s watching not participating!). Mark has a real passion for film and TV and runs his own online review site, and I’m a keen runner and looking forward to finding new local routes to explore/get lost on!
We can’t wait to get firmly rooted in Parwich life… be sure to say hello, we look forward to meeting you all!

It is some time since we have said welcome from the blog to our new residents. Lockdown didn’t help. If anyone has moved in over the last couple of years or so and would to say hello to the village please get in touch. To start us off please give a warm welcome to Kirsty:
Hello
My name is Kirsty Norman and I moved into the village a few weeks ago. I am living in Brook Cottage ( not the one nearest The Sycamore, the other one, next to the footpath that goes to the churchyard) so if you are walking past and see me, I would love it if you say “hello” 😊
I am new to Parwich but not to the area. Although a Southerner originally, I have been in Derbyshire since 1994.
Until recently, I was living in Alstonefield and prior to that, I was in Bonsall, near Matlock.
Back in the 90’s my family and I used to have The Watts Russell Arms pub in Hopedale and The Manifold Inn at Hulme End. So if you frequented either back in the day, I may have served you a beer or made you a ham cob!
My parents and sister also live in the area, in Alstonefield and near Longnor.
Thank you to those people that I have already spoken to, you have made me feel very welcome.
Regards
Kirsty

To the dog owner –
If you live in the village hang your head in shame.
If you are visiting, don’t come back.
If your dog was wandering unaccompanied next time the dog warden will be watching

After an excellent End of Season Lunch at the Sycamore Inn, where of course we were looked after and fortified with excellent fayre, members of the Parwich Bowls Team lined up to parade the Thursday League runner-up trophy that had been presented at the recent League AGM. That the top place winner’s trophy would have been preferred is history now and we accept this with the dignity that is required of sportsmen; it’s nonetheless a considerable achievement. However the prize carries with it promotion to a higher Division and a chance to pit our skills against some new opposition in our quest to go one better next term!

Message from John Micklefield:
We were expecting a delivery to Gardeners Cottage today, from Amazon. It was addressed to friends staying with us – Vidal Brownlee, but unfortunately he got the post code slightly wrong – DE6 1QD rather than 1QB.
Amazon say it was delivered but there’s no sign up here.
Please contact Jon on 075 if was delivered to you.

Please can I ask all drivers to slow down when rounding the bend at Dale’s Yard.This afternoon at approx. 5:30 pm, a red car heading out of Parwich in the middle of the road, came round the bend much faster than is appropriate, skidding to get back on his/her side of the road. It’s certainly not the first time: a Tate oil tanker, a big black estate car and another car, all had to take evasive action recently to avoid hitting me whilst I was ‘crawling’ round that bend. Visibility is zero and there is nowhere to escape at that point when driving towards Parwich.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Saskia T
