Parwich Bluebell Wood
Posted in 2009, Gardens, Photography, Posts of Note on Sunday May 10, 2009| 1 Comment »
A few weeks ago, parwich.org published some photographs of the glorious daffodils in Dorothy L’s woodland garden. Alas, the daffs have gone over now and the onerous task of dead-heading is well under way.
We have good news however. Dorothy’s woodland garden is looking more spectacular than ever. The bluebells are flowering and make a breathtaking scene. 
Thanks again to Dorothy for allowing us to enjoy her garden through these pictures. Click on ‘Continue Reading’ for a floral feast!

The moon was particularly beautiful last night. This photo was taken from above Creamery Lane in difficult light conditions!

Thank you JF-S for this picture of some crab apple blossom:
Let’s hope this wind does not blow it all away.

Our St George’s Day Celebrations
Posted in 2009, A52s, Church, Cyberscouts, Oddfellows, Photography, Posts of Note on Tuesday April 28, 2009| 4 Comments »
The Parwich Odd Fellows set in motion a very successful day. A big thank you to everyone, including the organisers, especially Mick Edge without whose vision, ideas and determination, the day would not have happened, all the helpers and those who came along and supported the day.
The morning’s march by the Odd Fellows and the Derbyshire Dales Cyberscouts, led by Doveholes Brass Band, followed the route of the Wakes March, though with fewer refreshment stops!! The Cyberscouts (including beavers, cubs and scouts) were particularly smartly turned out for their first parade in Parwich. It was very well supported and by the time the Church was reached for 11am there were more people than pews.
Andrew took the service of celebration: rousing hymns with the organ and brass band, dedication of two new kneelers commemorating the British Legion and Norman Edge; and the dedication of the four new banners for the Cyberscouts. Andrew’s address drew on St. George, the Good Samaritan and Jesus as examples of the importance of service to our communities.
The march continued around the village, finishing at the Memorial Hall for lunch and the chance to enjoy some live music.
The celebrations continued into the afternoon with the Church Fete. The afternoon was interspersed with Winster Morris Dancers and the well-known band the A52s.
Stone Faced!!

After three weeks of nail biting and sleepless nights (yes me, not the bird), trying to keep the cats etc. off, the first of our two blackbirds ventured forth into the big wide world this morning.
Apologies for the slightly de-focused picture, but I didn’t want to get too close or spend too much time composing the shot.
Please click to enlarge.
Update: Here’s a second photo, which shows both fledglings in sharper focus. (more…)

A stunning stained glass slideshow.
Posted in 2009, Church, Photography, Posts of Note on Sunday March 29, 2009| 1 Comment »
At Andrew Robinson’s request, John Fuller-Sessions has put together a splendid photographic catalogue of the stained glass windows inside St. Peter’s Church.
There are 41 images in total. Some are of the full windows, and some are detailed close-ups.
As the images look best in “full-screen” mode, we have loaded them into a slideshow on Flickr.
Please click here to view the slideshow – which will look even better if you press F11 on your keyboard before clicking the link. (When you’ve finished viewing, simply press F11 again.)
You can select individual images for viewing by clicking this link – or alternatively by starting here, and clicking each “next image” in sequence.
Lastly, all of these images have been archived on our ever-popular PHOTOS page – which is now once again up to date with all of our recent photography.
Spring is here… sort of!

This is Boots, the Orchard Farm cat. She is beginning to show her age, like her owners. She came from Devon when Marion’s father came to live with us. She is quite small and has a lovely nature.
