Well done to all the children who made boats; there was a super variety, made from paper, wood and junk material. Thank you especially to Revd Andy Larkin for bravely standing in the sheep wash launching, managing and retrieving the flotilla and also to Thayer L for helping to launch some of the vessels.

The Beacon on the hill was a thrill; the beauty of the view over the hills and the sight of the other beacons and firework displays across the darkening landscape, and the raging bonfire reflecting on the faces of villagers was something to remember. Here are a couple of photos I took.

Parwich was part of the network of beacons, one of more than 4000 being lit across the UK and Commonweath. The beacon, on Parwich Hill, could easily be seen in the village and this was followed by fireworks and rockets. Thank you to everyone who helped to build the beacon and to Richard T & Denis L for organising the wonderful fireworks.
All pictures can be enlarged. Thank you to Chris H for the photos above and to JF-S for the following ones taken from the cricket pitch.

Thank you to Cheryl W for this update:
A big thank you to everyone who brought their cars for a wash or just donated money. Current total towards the cost of new goal posts and nets is over £300 with more still to be added in. The kids were brilliant and probably most of the time were wetter than the cars that they were washing.
and to Chris H thank you for the photos

Thank you to those that turned out for the Stream & Pond clearing, Pat & John Barnett, the Peat family, Ben Ingham, Alan Purvis, Ben Bennett, Paul O’Connell, Owen Bradbury & Councillors Robert Bunting, Caroline Healy, Jane Bennett & Matt Harrison.
We have worked in conjunction with the appropriate Agencies and followed their advice. The main purpose was to remove old debris and not current summer growth. There were several particularly bad choke points, which are now freed, this will now allow any significant amounts of water to flow down the stream course and out of the village.

Here are all the pictures from today’s Tissington Well Dressing Children’s Day, the first time there has been such a day in the history of the wells. It was attended by the children from FitzHerbert and Parwich Primary schools. The event was jointly organised by the Peak Five churches and Ashbourne Methodist Circuit.

This year’s Annual Parish meeting took on a completely different format, with the focus on Groups and Societies. It was a very relaxed, informal and enjoyable evening with opportunities to try out some Pilates moves and also have a go at cardiac massage on the dolly with the First Responders. Stepping Stones Pre-School, Bowls Club, Carnival & Rec, Over 60’s, Parwich Charities, History Society, Horticultural Society, Film Club, Fit 4 All, Tennis Club, Parwich.org and the Police were all represented with Council Representatives and the Parish Clerk there to chat to parishioners. Val & Alison from Catering4Parwich kept everyone well fed with a great selection of cakes.

Dear Everyone
I can’t tell you how moved I was on my last Sunday in Parwich Church when you gave me such a lovely farewell, and such a generous and unexpected gift. I felt really sad to be leaving you all, but I know that our bonds of friendship will remain strong, and I look forward to seeing many of you when I return to the village from time to time. I still feel like a stranger down South, and miss you very much. Parwich will always be a very special place to me, and I shall live on my bank of happy memories.
The garden tokens are a wonderful gift. I have bought some plants, and I am looking for a bird bath which will be a permanent reminder of all of you, and which you can see when you visit me! (This is a genuine and open invitation).
The lovely “New House” cards that I received from you have been decorating my walls ,and keeping me company for the past few weeks. Thank you so much.
With my love and gratitude for all your love and support over the Derbyshire years.
From Rachel

It was a pleasant surprise to wake up to sun this morning, a bit of warmth on the barn will be extremely welcome, clearly they made a mistake on last night’s TV weather forecast suggesting that snow and hail may fall.
Everyone was hard at work when I arrived at the Carr’s barn at 9.45am. Helen and Ann, the real creative masters were busy pricking out the outline of ‘The Good Shepherd’.
From a photograph they create a picture using a range of materials, to achieve texture, depth and almost a 3D effect, and it is not easy.

Although mainly flower petals are used on Yew Tree Well, anything is potentially up for grabs. For Jesus’s hair the Carr children had to have a haircut; real authenticity is strived for. By mid afternoon the sheep were being worked on and a cry went up for wool. Edward disappeared for a significant period of time and came back armed with smelly wet wool. Yes he had just been out into the field, he eventually caught a sheep and gave it a trim.

Another year has passed and it’s Well Dressing time. Every year I whinge about how cold it is in the barn but maybe because of the awful weather that we have had this spring I am becoming accustomed to it. However it is still true that it is actually warmer outside than in. I wrapped up warmly, the long johns have seen their first outing of the year and underneath my sweatshirt I had two thick thermal tops on.
The first day is always spent outlining the design, for some people it may seem monotonous but actually it very therapeutic and relaxing, seeing the picture emerging from the grey clay.
There are always a few hiccups which are rarely obvious once the design has been finished.
The clay has been well puddled but somehow some quite large stones have escaped Edward’s quality control and rise to the surface as you are positioning the coffee beans. Sometimes the edge of the clay collaspes and emergency repairs are needed; out comes the plastering trowel.
I have been busy outlining a rose and leaves on the right hand board. It is quite fiddly and as I want to match up the veins on the leaves with the design on the left hand board I then swap over. It’s at this point I realise that this part of the picture is not a mirror image. It would have been really obvious to us if it had been left, maybe not to the visitors. So after lunch Edward erases the outline, the template is flipped over and Margaret shows Edward how to prick out the design.

The current TV and Radio news weather items has prompted me to look back at April over the last few years. Without doubt April 2012 has been a little on the damp side, certainly more than a heavy dew! It is interesting to see the wide variation over the same month in different years – 18mm in 2007 and 132 mm this year.
Thank you to the Weatherman on the Hill.

As most of our readers will already know, over 200 households in Parwich, i.e. the majority of the village, experienced a power cut between roughly 8:30 AM and 21:40 PM yesterday (Sunday April 29th). We were told that this was due to a fallen tree, that had blown over during Sunday morning’s storms.
If you have any comments to make about the episode, please leave them below. For instance, were you satisfied with the way that the situation was handled by the power company? And how did you spend your Sunday? Was it a nightmare experience, or did you find ways of making it fun?

An article in yesterday’s Ashbourne News Telegraph indicated that Derbyshire County Council are considering turning off street lights in villages between midnight and 5-30am.
The first local village that could be effected is Brassingington that may see its streetlights off through the night as early as July this year. At present the plans for Parwich involve a ‘risk assessment’ to be undertaken in December of this year, followed by ‘community engagement’ in March 2013, with ‘installation’ (i.e. switching off) in May 2013. for more information see www.derbyshire.gov.uk/streetlights .

As chance would have it, our recent photograph of frolicking frogs at the Jubilee Pond has created a minor sensation in certain circles.
To most of us, this simply looked like a picture of ordinary frogs, going about their usual spring time activities. However, the photo has also managed to catch the eye of international maverick chef Heston Blumenthal, who became famous for serving dishes such as snail porridge and bacon & egg ice cream at his Fat Duck restaurant in Berkshire.
Heston Blumenthal is fascinated by the history of food. On his TV series Heston’s Feasts, banquets with Victorian, Medieval, Tudor and Roman themes were served to celebrity guests, who dined on delights such as bone marrow rice pudding, venison with dormouse, and calves’ brain custard. Thanks to his great knowledge of food and his continual search for the unusual, Heston eventually found the photograph on this blog.
As Heston soon realised, these were no ordinary frogs. Instead, these were rare examples of Rana esculenta ssp. gustusspawnum, making them direct descendants of the edible frogs which were prized in Tudor times for their tasty frogspawn.
Heston quickly arranged a trip to Parwich, in order to collect a sample of this very special spawn. This gave him the long-awaited opportunity to develop a recipe that he had planning for several years. Naturally, the dish would be given the unique Blumenthal touch.
Back at his development kitchen in Bray, Heston started by separating the spawn into separate batches. These were then “stewed” for eight hours – at precisely 76oC – in extracts of vanilla, lychee, lime, peach and raspberry, so that each individual batch absorbed the colour and flavour of its own particular marinade.
Finally, just before serving, the spawn was “poached” at minus 196oC in liquid nitrogen, before being gently stirred into a separately prepared soft passion fruit jelly.
The resulting dish, which you can see pictured here, bears all the hallmarks of a classic Blumenthal creation, in which unusual, out of context ingredients are combined and prepared, using high tech methods, to spectacular effect.
By way of a “thank you” to the village, Heston recently invited Catering 4 Parwich’s Val Kirkham to the Fat Duck, where she was shown how to prepare the dish. This will be served at the next Parwich Lunch in the Memorial Hall. Val and Alison are expecting quite a queue, so do be sure to get there early!
UPDATE: There is, of course, no truth whatsoever in this story – but it was published on April 1st, and we have a tradition to maintain!

The Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire William Tucker is inviting local couples celebrating their Diamond Wedding Anniversary in 2012 to contact him.
As part of Her Majesty’s Jubilee Tour of the United Kingdom, HM The Queen is to make a joint visit to Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire – based in Nottingham – on Wednesday 13th June, 2012.
During that visit HM The Queen, accompanied by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, will attend a reception and Mr. Tucker wants Diamond Wedding couples from Derbyshire to have the opportunity of attending that Reception.
Says Mr Tucker, “I have no idea how many couples in Derbyshire are celebrating their Diamond Wedding Anniversary this year but there is an opportunity here to make it rather special for some that are doing so.”
Up to 18 couples can be invited to the Reception, i.e. 36 people in total. In the event that more than 18 couples apply then each of the District / Borough / City Councils within the County will be asked to choose two couples each to ensure a fair distribution of invitations from across Derbyshire.
In the first instance, couples wishing to be considered should send a copy of their Wedding Certificate, together with a covering letter, to:-
Diamond Jubilee
HM Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire
Town Hall
MATLOCK
Derbyshire DE4 3NN
Any enquiries should be directed to Debra Heaton, Secretary to the Lieutenancy, telephone 01629 761126 or email: debra.heaton@derbyshiredales.gov.uk
Closing date for applications is Friday 4th May 2012.

Since the autumn the Parish Council has been re-examining the role of volunteers who carry out community work for them. This was reinforced at Wednesday night’s monthly Council meeting during the public speaking time when villagers made it clear that they would like to see volunteers taking a more active role within areas covered by the Parish Council.
Now for all the legal bit! As a public body the Parish Council has to ensure that the highest levels of safety are maintained at all times. We have a legal and mandatory duty of care to ensure that all volunteers are competent to carry out the work, which must be undertaken in a safe environment. The correct personal protective clothing and equipment must be used according to the task undertaken. A risk assessment has to be carried out, kept and communicated to volunteers to ensure that they work within the guidelines set out. The Parish Council has to be satisfied that volunteers possess adequate experience and depending on the type of work, relevant training or qualifications may be considered necessary. These are all legal requirements set out by our insurance company as well as by national bodies. Fortunately much of it is just common-sense to protect both volunteers and the Parish Council, identifying sensible and proportionate measures to control the risks.
So in plain English, as long as the tasks are appropriate and we all carry out the necessary legal requirements, volunteers are welcomed and we look forward to working together.

Parwich Lunch has now been running for 5 months and it is really becoming a significant date in the monthly village calendar. There is a good core of regulars and this week we welcomed some first timers, from the village, Ashbourne as well as London. More than 30 people sat down to a deliciously tasty and tender Lamb Hot Pot followed by a creamy Rice Pudding with plenty of skin for those that wanted it. There is always plenty of conversation, teasing and just a great atmosphere in the Hall over this lunchtime.
Why not come and join us next month on Monday April 16th; you really will be made to feel welcome, whether your 5, 50 or 100. All dietary requirements are catered for and the menu can be adjusted if you don’t like something: as long as Val knows in advance.
Finally what I’d really like to say is thank you, thank you to Val and Alison (Catering 4 Parwich) for the organisation, cooking and the creation of a really super occasion.

Sent in as a comment from Saskia, but too good not to have it as a post.
So, let me get this straight:
Collections will be as follows:

Monday: Green – all kitchen waste, including egg shells (see also Sunday’s collection), but no chicken bones or olive stones; garden waste: only clippings from the following: Celastraceae, Malvaceae and Rosaceae (see also Thursday’s collection); Black: plastics, but only rigid (see below for rigidity testing *), small broken household items with dimensions not exceeding 37 x 45 x 12 cm, ink cartridges, but not HP colour.
Tuesday: Blue – plastics, only non-rigid * (see below); glass, but no broken beer or white/red wine glasses (see additional late-Friday night collection); paper, including newspapers but not the Sunday Mirror.
Wednesday: I can’t quite remember: is it babies and toddlers? But which bin was it? I’m not sure whether I could have misunderstood the instructions though.
Thursday: Green – all green waste but NOT from Celastraceae, Malvaceae and Rosaceae. Also: kitchen waste, but only chicken bones and olive stones (see also Monday’s collection).
Friday: Blue: all recyclables, but no plastics (see Monday and Tuesday). No cricket bats.

Sadly, George Woolley passed away on Thursday 23rd February. George grew up in Mappleton before eventually moving to Parwich, where he has lived for almost 50 years. Initially he lived at Gibbon’s Bank before spending the rest of his life in Sycamore Cottages with his wife Kathleen, who he has been married to for 49 years. He has four sons, Robin, Andrew, Robert and David, a daughter Jayne, eight grandchildren and one great grandchild.
George has always been a real supporter of village life, involved in various committees, he sat on the Village Hall Committee for many years and was also the President of the Horticultural Society for a long time; horticulture was one of his keen interests.

Minutes of the Stepping Stones Pre-School, Parwich Open meeting held on
Thursday 9th February 2012 Sycamore Pub, Parwich at 7.30pm.
Present
Emma Dickinson, Gill Harrison, Tracey Fentem, Jennifer Barker, Vicky Yeomans, Janet Gosling, Nicky Edge, Sam Lomas, Felicity Watkins, Katy and Andy Wayne.
Apologies
None
As this is an open meeting there was no Agenda.
Gill Harrison, Treasurer welcomed all to the meeting and gave a rough scenario of were we are at because of our Ofsted report. We might be thrown a lifeline Derbyshire County Council are visiting tomorrow (Friday 10 February 2012) to see how we have progressed since the Ofsted report and if they are happy we will get funding for 6 children (3 more than we were) from Easter. If we don’t then we can only run until May 2012. We currently have 10 children on the books and 6 leave this July for School. In September that leaves only 4 children this would only bring in £150 and it costs £411.61 a week to run at the moment. There is £500 in the cash flow and £900 in Reserve account to cover Redundancy if required. At the moment we are not viable to run in September 2012. Last year we had a lot of children funded so that’s what kept us going. We need to cut down on costs and push the Pre School.
We need to do all we can to try our very best to keep the pre school open. We need to advertise in/on papers, radio, page on blog – Jane Bennett will help flyers and leaflets. We will have to make a decision June/early July as to whether the Pre School will open in September 2012.

Earlier today, 2.15pm to be precise, Parwich featured on the BBC1 programme ‘Escape to the Country’ when it came to look at Fernlea House for sale, and there were shots of the village, too.
If you want to see the programme, it should be on BBC iPlayer for the next few days.

We have received the following message from the Villages:
Firstly we would like to apologise for making our goodbyes in a less personal manner than we would have wished. We had hoped to host a Farewell drinks get-together but recent predicaments have meant we find ourselves challenged just to deal with our move. Once we are sorted out we hope to address the matter. We will be in Bakewell temporarily whilst we explore our next bolt holes both locally and in London, so hope to bump into familiar faces regularly. Our family has enjoyed a wonderful 12 years in Parwich and we feel sure that the new owners of Shaw Lane House (Charles & Judith Bailey) will feel the same.
Enclosing our warmest good wishes.
Stephen, Nadica, Archie & Louis Village
