Early morning at the Jubilee Pond
Posted in 2010, Photography, Posts of Note on Saturday May 1, 2010| 1 Comment »
Last November, a determined gang of volunteers did a grand job of clearing the bog garden and stream at the Jubilee Pond site.
Six months on, and thanks to their labours, the pond site is looking more beautiful than ever – as can be seen from these three photographs, taken at around 7:15 this morning. (Please click to enlarge.)
Fair on The Green – Photos
Posted in 2010, A52s, Church, Photography, Posts of Note on Sunday April 25, 2010| Leave a Comment »
This afternoon saw the very successful Fair on the Green, fundraising for the Church Restoration. There were lots of people enjoying a really fun afternoon. It was super to see Andy, our new vicar, prominent in the fundraising effort – Well done Andy and everyone else for organising a super afternoon. Further thanks to all involved in this morning’s events.
Below is a random selection of shots, taken by Jane & JF-S.
Budding Beautiful, but what are they all?
Posted in 2010, Photography, Posts of Note on Monday April 19, 2010| 5 Comments »
Yesterday I was commenting to JF-S about the beautiful blossom on one of his trees which we couldn’t identify. Later in the day he sent me a photo; I challenged him to photo some other trees and plants and within no time at all they were emailed in and here they are. Your challenge is to help identify all 14. Answers in the comment box please.

Volcanic sunset?

This photograph was taken on Saturday evening, where the Dale road meets the A515 just south of Biggin. Has the volcanic ash enhanced the colours of the sunset in any way? This article in today’s Telegraph suggests that it might have done…

Some signs of spring.

Spring seems a long time coming this year, so it’s good to see the first splashes of colour here and there. Thanks to Mike G for these images, which look even better when enlarged.
Tits Talking

“ I wonder what the council tax is for this place?” JF-S.

Update: Please click here to listen to the tits in full song (but sadly not in conversation). Our thanks once again to Alan Burbidge of WSRS for providing the sound file.

Have you got any spare snowdrops?
Posted in Photography on Thursday March 4, 2010| Leave a Comment »
These photos taken by Mike G show the snowdrops at their best, and this week it really does feel like Spring is here. If you have any spare snowdrops in your garden, maybe this year one of your clumps needs dividing, please could you let Jane (665) or Glynis (561) know. We are looking to pot up some snowdrops ready for underplanting near the entrance to the new Memorial Hall. The best time to split your snowdrops is just after flowering, but whilst the leaves are still green. Remember snowdrops spread very easily, so if you could spare some we would be very grateful and then everyone will be able to admire your generosity next Spring.

When the snow melts the first flowers of the year should be appearing: the yellow aconites and even the shoots of snow drops. Lambing and calving may not be that far away.
How about sending in your photos to PARWICH.ORG (email parwich@hotmail.co.uk) of the ‘firsts’ of the year as they occur.

With this picture taken from Gotham Grange Farm, spare a thought for those with roads not being gritted at all. School and shops are for some still inaccessible.
Thank you PB
(More photos from Pikehall, Ballidon, Alsop, etc are always welcome)

This morning we published some photographs showing the impressive icicles hanging from Matt and Jill H’s eaves. This has prompted Jill L to send us this amazing picture of the icicles hanging from the roof of the cave on Smithy Lane.
We would be delighted to publish any more specimens from Parwich or the surrounding area. Email your pictures to parwich@hotmail.co.uk .

Snowy weather is bad news for those who have to travel, but for those who can enjoy the cosiness and the picture postcard scenery, this is a magical time. Many a photographer was abroad today making the most of the excellent light. Here is a gallery of photographs of our beautiful village taken on Sunday morning.
