Frosty Sunday

This lovely ‘Frosty Sunday morning’ photo was taken by Chloe W. She and her friends were on a walk up the fields when she managed to snap this scene.

As the air was clear and the sun was bright, our roving reporter headed up the hill by Town Head and made his way to Minninglow to take a few pictures.
Particular thanks to Frank R and son, who kindly allowed their photograph to be taken whilst they were moving their sheep to a different field.
Not a bad place to live!

Out walking this afternoon – glorious sunshine so you don’t notice the chill in the air, after all it is January.

This is the 4th year some of us have got together to do a Christmas morning walk. Everyone brought a contribution for the “picnic”, there were plenty of nibbles of lots and lots of mulled wine.
Thanks to JF-S for the photos
Merry Christmas to you all

I took this photo at 8.30 this morning, a glorious sight to wake up to on Christmas morning; the sunlight bouncing off the trees on Parwich hill.

Andy explained that the Bible tells us that Jesus came into this world as a light into the darkness.
The questions is… What type of light?
In these photos, Andy is attempting to answer this question using a home made flame thrower!

The Parwich Guizers – a photographic history.
Posted in 2011, Arts, British Legion, People, Photography, Posts of Note, Pub, Societies on Thursday December 22, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Rob Francis writes:
You seek them here, you seek them there. For 25 years, they have mysteriously appeared then disappeared at Christmas.
This is a unique Parwich tradition inherited from Biggin-by-Hartington through Ambrose Wilton and Jack Cundy, who as boys traipsed along the railway, returning via The Newhaven Inn – back in 1936.
Click here to view photographs from the last 25 years (or click here for a full-screen slideshow).
This includes the guizers’ famous meeting with Paris Hilton (look at the smile on her face) and the first photograph that appeared in The Ashbourne Telegraph in 1985.
The guizers in all their shape-shifting forms wish you a Happy Christmas.

I saw this in the garden and thought that the colours of the spider were lovely – is it a common orb weaver?

It was a super Bonfire Night last night, and the fireworks went on for ages – a fabulous event. Thank you to the Carnival & Rec committee for organising it, to C4P for the food and anyone else that helped.

Have you seen this guy?

This guy looked as bit lost as he was seen staggering down Creamery Lane about 30 minutes ago.
If you see him, do help him, as he’s going to be the star tonight. Give your vote and support to “Guy in Lights”, better than X Factor & Strictly, from 7.30pm, Live on Alsop Road. It’s Bonfire Night!
Well done Wyatt & the Marshalls.
Trick or Treat
Posted in 2011, Photography, Posts of Note, Young people on Monday October 31, 2011| 1 Comment »
Love it or hate it, Parwich does “Trick or Treat” well, it is good-natured and friendly. Tonight there was a real buzz in the air, you could hear children’s voices full of excitement and their footsteps echoing up the path. Lots of effort had been put into the costumes and the enthusiasm of the children was matched by their readiness to say thank you.
Lots more photos – to enlarge just click on the photo. (more…)

Mother and calf are doing extremely well. It’s lovely to think that now there will be two beautiful cows on Creamery Lane. The only problem is the name, it has to begin with P and have a floral connection.
And she’s called…….

Chatsworth Beyond Limits Sculpture Exhibition 2011
Posted in 2011, Arts, Out & About, Photography, Posts of Note on Sunday September 18, 2011| 4 Comments »
This year’s Beyond Limits sculpture exhibition opened on Friday September 16th, in the gardens of Chatsworth House. There are 26 works on display, including pieces by Damien Hirst, Rene Magritte, Lynn Chadwick and Marc Quinn, and the exhibition runs until October 30th 2011.
Please click on each photo to enlarge it.
23. Damien Hirst – Myth
The spot at the far end of the Canal pond is always reserved for something special. In previous years, we’ve had Marc Quinn’s statue of Kate Moss and a smaller version of Antony Gormley’s Angel of the North – and this year, Damien Hirst’s two painted bronze horses, Myth and Legend, looked spectacular in the afternoon sunlight. You’ll see Legend further down in this post.
Congratulations to the happy couple

The Strongman Competition – Video
Posted in A52s, Competition, Events, People, Photography on Wednesday September 7, 2011| 1 Comment »
Many thanks to Tim Yeomans for videoing last Saturday’s outstanding Strongman Competition. Tim has edited the whole three hour event down to a marvellous 10 minute film which captures the spirit of this event; the strength and determination of the competitors, the music of The A52s and the enjoyment of the crowds. Let’s hope that this event becomes a regular part of the village calendar.

Visitors to this year’s 60th Horticultural Show were treated to another fine display of locally grown flowers, fruits and vegetables. Other categories included eggs, cakes, scones, biscuits, pies, quiches, bread, jams, chutneys, canapes and photographs.
The prize-giving ceremony, which was presided over by Nia Linnell, saw Tony Marshall taking home no fewer than five trophies: a remarkable achievement. This was followed by the ever-popular auction of entries, with Robert Bunting doing the duties as auctioneer.
Congratulations are due to all those who won prizes, and thanks are due to all the entrants, to the Horticultural Society for organising the event, and to the judges who kindly lent their expertise.

Parwich Strongman Competition: a first glimpse
Posted in 2011, Events, People, Photography, Posts of Note on Saturday September 3, 2011| 6 Comments »
Congratulations to Andy Fletcher, the winner of this afternoon’s Parwich Strongman Competition. Andy, who hails from Belper, held off a determined challenge from Parwich’s Tom Slater, who was only one point behind him as the competition reached its final round. The two contenders eventually went head-to-head, in a nail-biting race to place an increasingly heavy series of tyres on top of oil drums. Although Tom came within a whisker of victory, Andy was just quick enough to see off his rival, claiming the title for the second consecutive year.
Ten contestants took part in this year’s event, which was the first to be held on the Nethergreen football pitch. The size of the field was perfectly suited to the event, giving spectators ample room to view the action, and allowing the organisers to construct an impressive looking arena. All in all, it was great to see this underused space being pressed into service.
As well as the contest itself, spectators were able to enjoy live music from The A52s, a bar and a barbecue, as well a delicious cake stall, an ice cream van, and Lucy Burlinson’s face painting for the children.
Many thanks to Shaun and Tracy Marshall, Rob Keeling and everyone else who helped to organise the event, and also to all those who generously contributed towards the prizes.
Full scores will follow, along with many more photos – but for starters, here’s a small gallery of images from the day. Please click on each image to enlarge it.

Mr Bill Whitfield, of Leatherbritches Nursery, has very kindly judged the baskets for us again. He looked at 29 baskets altogether and it was quite a task for him to decide which one to put in 3rd place. Here are the three winners.

First prize – Two of Jack Cundy’s three splendid baskets. (Main Street) (more…)
A Pastoral Scene
Posted in 2011, Photography, Posts of Note on Tuesday August 9, 2011| 3 Comments »
This photo comes from a book called Derbyshire part of the series, King’s England, written by Arthur Mee and published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1937. It shows the back of Orchard Farm in the left hand corner, with a view that is somewhat different today. The photo appears to have been taken close to the track on Monsdale Lane that says “Unsuitable for motors”. Thank you to JF-S for finding this gem.
If anyone has any old photos of Parwich, maybe we could borrow them, scan them and put them on the blog.
