Definitely a case of  ‘making honey, while the sun shines‘. Thank you David G for these various bumble bee photos, I had not realised there are so many different types. Do look at the later photos too.

Red Arrows Fly Past

How did the Oddfellows organise the Red Arrows fly past at this morning’s parade? Perfect timing.

I took a couple of photos, but unfortunately my computer crashed at the wrong time while uploading them, and they seem to have gone. Did anyone else get any photos of this? If you did and are happy for them to go on the Blog please email them to parwich@hotmail.co.uk. Also any other Wakes photos are welcome.

Thank you, Peter

Despite a rainy start to the day, Open Gardens stayed mostly dry, attracting more visitors than had initially been expected, and raising around £1100 in ticket sales, plant sales and cream teas. Seventeen gardens opened this year – up from eleven last year – and it was particularly good to see a number of new additions to the list of regular favourites.

If any of our readers is able to supply us with photos of the Childrens’ Show of paintings and plants in the Memorial Hall, we would delighted to share them. In the meantime, here is a small selection of photographs taken on the garden trail.

Please click on any photo to view the whole gallery in full-screen size.

Thanks to Jane B for these three photos, which were taken on Easter Sunday.

1. Junction of Dale Road and A515 – pretty difficult to see traffic coming from the Buxton direction.

2. Walking with Buntingo and Lotti – it may not look it, but it is 6 feet down to the track from where they are standing – it’ll be a few weeks before the snow has melted sufficiently to allow cycling.

The chestnut avenue planted to celebrate the Queen’s coronation is now gone, but for one tree; let us hope that the Parish Council are able to find a suitable alternative that will survive all the tree diseases that now threaten. Thank you to John F.S. for this photographic eulogy:

Closing date

12pm (midnight) Sunday 31st March

The competition is open to all, for photographs taken within 6 miles of Parwich village and reflecting the title ‘Signs of Spring’. The title can be interpreted literally, for example spring flowers or lambs, or with lateral thinking, for example servicing the lawn mower or even a car spring in a pot hole. Click here to see the rules.

Entries so far are shown below (click on each photo to enlarge), but keep them coming in (email entries to parwich@hotmail.co.uk):
