For some unknown reason the connection between the Blog itself and Facebook was lost. Apologies for any confusion this has caused.
We have re established the connection so new posts will appear now as normal, however we have had to go back and recopy number of posts to the Facebook page so unfortunately they may not now be shown in chronological order.
Dougie and Lily have their ice cream ready and waiting for our holiday search. What’s everyone else missing from holidays? We can’t wait to find out on our holiday treasure hunt over the next week.
Well a holiday hunt! As many of us should be on holiday next week and we don’t really need an excuse to brighten up the village and make us smile how do people fancy creating their own holiday pictures for us all to find . Whether it be a picture of an ice cream 🍦, bucket and spade or an awesome sand castle – the brighter the better. Hunt starting from this Saturday – we can’t wait to see your creations.
Our very own DJ Funky Gibbon will be doing a Facebook live session from 8pm – 9pm this Bank Holiday Friday featuring hits through the decades. You can ask for requests through his Facebook page as more info will appear on there shortly. So grab a loud speaker sit in your front garden and carry on the VE Day celebrations.
Parwich.org has readers far and wide and we have received our first entry from Clitheroe. Thank you to Amy W for sending them in for the under 7 category.
I have been strolling around the village for about five years now and only discovered these steps a few days ago. Although overgrown, there are steps behind the undergrowth. Can anyone guess where they are and let me(us) know of any history
This village never ceases to amaze me – you are all lovely people and the rainbows and teddies have brought such joy over the past couple of weeks. So for Easter week please can we do just one more!!
I was thinking if we could create the biggest village Easter hunt the kids have ever seen so hide pictures of eggs, bunnies or anything Easter related then we can all have fun finding them.
Then finally email us photos of your Easter creations to parwich@hotmail.com or lucywigley@googlemail.com and the best pictures will win an Easter prize. We will have a prize for under 7’s, 7-15 yr olds and finally 15 and over so everyone can get involved (Liz E I’m sure your dying to send us some 😀). Photos to be sent by Monday 13th April.

From DDDC- Recycling backlog
We are very conscious that some residents where recycling collections have been missed this week and last are getting concerned about when we might have capacity to react to the backlog as the coronavirus crisis continues to impact on this service.
Please be aware that a contingency plan will be announced very soon that seeks to address how recycling collections will happen during this emergency situation.
In the meantime our appeal to households is that you stockpile any recycling rather than being tempted to burn it – which is bad for the environment – or to dispose of it in any other way.
Your continued patience and understanding in these exceptional times is much appreciated.
Hopefully you are busy creating your own bears. I just wanted to share mine and Dougie’s creation I’m not sure if it belongs in the Tate Gallery or some horror movie!
Can’t wait to find yours soon

Hey Lucy we’re ready and waiting!

I am an elderly bear so I am looking out for you from my bedroom window

My polar bear (an Ursus maritimus) is quite enjoying himself this week, spotting children as they walk past. My daughter called him ‘Boris’, when she won him at a funfair many years ago, but I have to say that Boris-the-Bear preens himself much better, regularly combing his fur/hair, than the human Boris (Homo sapiens). It’s a bit cold in the garage window, but he’s quite used to that. Boris-the-Bear asked me to thank Lucy M for the chance to be brought out of mothballs for a bit.

Look what we found today – has anyone else seen ‘Pooh’
Firstly I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone in the village for putting rainbows on display (special thanks to Rosie W for Dods Hill and Lucy B for the Green) it really made my kids (and mine!) week. We have done a rainbow hunt every single day!!
So to carry it on how about from Monday we create a bear hunt? if you could draw your best teddy bears or even put a real teddy bear out so we can find it, it will hopefully carry on spreading some joy in these difficult times.
In these uncertain times how about a bit of light relief?? I’ve just seen a post on Facebook where neighbourhoods are drawing and putting up pictures of rainbows in their windows for local children to find on a rainbow treasure hunt. As a mother of two young children looking for some activities in the village to keep my kids entertained how about it? All you need to do is draw a picture of a rainbow and stick it in your window next week ready for us and others to spot.
Kirsty has recently shared this, please make sure you share with others in the village who may benefit from it…

Sorry, no photos today, but lots more progress. The first layer of stone is down with a second delivery expected tomorrow, to be laid on Tuesday.
Due to the wet weather and mud sticking to everything and everybody on site, we called an early departure. However, the logs for the stumpery were arranged ready to be fused together with soil in which we will be planting ferns. If anyone has any they would like to contribute, please leave them at north end opening and we will get them rehoused.
Wednesday the paths will be compacted to receive the final topping. We will also be planting come hedging plants over the next couple of visits from the team.
Parwich Toddler Group had a brilliant time yesterday at the village lunch. A massive thank you to Val and her tribe of elves. A lovely time was had by all…
Thank you, Parwich, for another wonderful celebration of our community at Christmas. I can’t imagine the effort that goes into it but it is much appreciated! Caroline G
Ben Elton’s witty script provides the story for this beautifully shot film. The year is 1613, and Shakespeare is acknowledged as the greatest writer of the age. But disaster strikes when his renowned Globe Theatre burns to the ground. Devastated, Shakespeare returns to Stratford, where he must face a troubled past and a neglected family. Starring Judi Dench, Ian McKellen and Kenneth Branagh. Certificate 12
