The wonderful actress, Kate Winslett, stars in this moving and true account of Lee Miller, the American model and photographer. Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II. Her photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among the most significant and historically important of the second world war. She changed war photography forever, but Lee paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.
Guardian review **** Lee review – Kate Winslet is remarkable as model turned war photographer Lee Miller

Pleased to advise that we have recently enabled nearly 150 premises with Full Fibre broadband as part of the Parwich exchange scheme. The premises in question are primarily located in Parwich village and in DE6 1QA, QB, QD, QL, QJ, QW, 1NX, 1QH, 1QG and 1QT postcodes. Please Note: Not all premises in these postcodes are enabled, however we will continue to build our network over the coming weeks and months.
Whilst this is great news for Parwich, we are still hoping to build our new Full Fibre network to neighbouring communities such as Alsop en le Dale and Pikehall, however we are still short of our target costs in order to make this happen.
Our pledge site remains open Connect My Community (openreach.com), so people who haven’t pledged yet, but intend to order Full Fibre services soon, we would appreciate if they could pledge prior to ordering as this will help us obtain the required funding and hopefully hit our target. I also attach some information which can be shared electronically through email and social media and I would be grateful if you could help promote and raise awareness of the scheme.
We appreciate that most people are unclear about the monthly costs once Full Fibre services become available so it would be worth reaching out to their Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see what packages are available. A lot of ISPs will upgrade their customers to Full Fibre at no additional charge once it becomes available so worth checking with them.
A link to a list of providers using our network is below.
In terms of areas that have been enabled, people can check whether Full Fibre services are available by following the link below and inserting their postcode and selecting their address. If the response confirms Full Fibre Broadband available as per example below, then they can contact their ISP to upgrade. Some providers may have already contacted their customers.
I trust this is welcomed news for the village and I look forward to bringing more good news in 2025. I would be more than happy to attend and provide an update at one of your next Parish Council meetings in the New Year. If this is of interest, please let me know and advise of suitable dates.
In the meantime, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
We are selling a single, mid height, white bed (mattress not included). Being dismantled ready for collection from West View on Saturday. £30. Any questions let me know thanks Lucy M – lucywigley@googlemail.com
What a fantastic turn out for the Carols in Church. Thanks to everyone who came along with their best singing voices and we all stayed nice and warm thanks to the Church. Big thank you to Ashbourne Town Band who sounded fantastic and an extra special thank you to the amazing Rob Clarke who every year provides us with the BEST mince pies.
So that’s a wrap from the Parwich Carnival and Recreation Committee for 2024. We would like to thank everyone for supporting all the events throughout the year and we wish you all a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
The Carnival and Recreation Committee would like to offer their heartfelt thanks to Sarah and Jonathan Hotchin for their very kind donation of the village Christmas tree and also their commitment for future years. It is a testament to the local farmers that surround and support our village. A big thank you for not only the tree but helping with the erection and we look forward to your support throughout the upcoming years.
We would also like to thank Barbara and Alan Lowes for their ongoing support with the power supply which they have generously done for many years. If Hotch is as good as these two we are onto a winner.
Happy Christmas and see you at the Christmas Carols tomorrow. Lucy M
