If you’d like a way to reuse any cardboard boxes and other packaging that is headed for the blue bin,  you might consider dropping them off in Tissington. 

Annie at the candleshop On a Wick and a Prayer regularly reuses unwanted bubble wrap, tissue paper and those curled cornstarch bits (that look like a type of crisp!) in the orders she sends out by post. She can also make her own packaging from pre-used cardboard using the nifty machine in the photo.

Mairi at Tissington Plant Nursery can also make good use of your small and medium boxes for her customers.

As I regularly go over to Tissington I am happy to take unwanted packaging. Please check first on 334, just in case I’m inundated. 

Or pop over and see their wonderful plants and candles at the same time.

A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark, absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger-than-fiction true story, “Wicked Little Letters” follows two neighbours: deeply-conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents start to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women, led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss and Rose might not be the culprit after all.

Independent****  Olivia Colman hurling expletives is enough to sustain this witty true-life comedy

Having read this article, I wonder if several options were missed off the survey re ‘the Creamery triangle’. https://www.rhs.org.uk/wildlife/lawn-and-mini-meadow-habitats

Strimming the edges of the green and leaving the central bit open to nature could be another option. This would hopefully alleviate the fears of people who worry about their view of the road being decreased; although I would argue that it could possibly force people to slow down – so maybe making it safer!  A partially mowed area could make an interesting study for the children of Parwich – what can they find/see in the mowed parts vs areas left to grow?  

Another option in the above article is to not mow from spring to the end of August. 

I don’t want to flog a dead horse, or cause an argument, but I’m not sure all options were carefully considered; there simply wasn’t enough reflection time given to issue. If not this year, perhaps something to consider next?

I had an uninvited guest parked on my drive way yesterday afternoon – a white car. 

Does anyone know the female with glasses who had the audacity to do so!

Thank you,
