A rabbit has taken up residence in my garden, I am not a rabbit expert but it looks very like a domestic rabbit rather than a wild one. Has anyone lost a rabbit??

UPDATE – the chair has now found a home!
Free to anyone who’d like a leather office chair. Now surplus to our requirements, but it’s had only 4 or 5 years of occasional use, so I’d on good condition.
Call Jon or Viv at Gardeners Cottage – 390075.

I am not sure this counts as a good news story but many will remember this on 1 July 2014:
I have been looking at some old photos and I thought this might of interest!

Brent Crude rises to $26 this week as the OPEC+ production cuts come into force, and news that a wave of US shale well closures has begun, resulting in a large fall in shale oil production. However, with a large surplus of global oil stock it doesn’t look like prices will rise significantly just yet.

On a walk this morning over Bletch Brook I heard a cuckoo calling, I must admit it’s the first for a very long time in this area I have heard.

Due to the lock down caused by the Corona Virus and the closure of Hotels, Restaurants, Pubs, Shops, Food Fairs, Hartington Creamery based at Pikehall has lost over 80% of its sales. Many locals bought our cheese from Hartington Cheese Shop, which has temporarily closed. We wish therefore, to make as many previous customers (and potential new customers) aware that we are as a food business still operating and our cheese can be bought locally at Tissington Butchers, or on-line through our website. http://hartingtoncreamery.co.uk/
Any enquiries please ring 390308

Director
Update: Now available at the shop/Sycamore

The foodbank collections on a Friday from the bus shelter has been cancelled until further notice. Many thanks to those who donated for your support and generosity. Parwich donated a total of 21 bags of groceries over a 3 week period (7 + 11 + 3) which will have been a great help to those in need of assistance.
You can still donate to the foodbank via various collection points in Ashbourne. These are at M&S, Sainsbury’s & Co-Op. Thank you. L.B.

No ‘good news’ stories? Well, I certainly have one: whilst clearing out one of my storage units in the pantry (a once-in-a-lifetime-activity for me), I came across a small tin of mushy peas, use-by date: March 2003. I don’t like mushy peas. Needless to say the contents were flushed down the toilet … but I’m really pleased with the extra space in my unit, thanks to Covid19.
Now a more serious good-news story: I like this invisible benefit of less air pollution as a result of Covid19, clear(er?) skies, less traffic, birdsong is more obvious. I also keep wondering if the village can continue with some of the ‘silver linings’ of Covid19, e.g. the positive joint activities, like the Lester Lowe orders, that save numerous individual car journeys (= air pollution). I also like the idea of a village collection point for (small and light) parcels once life is back to normal. I know it’s been discussed in the past, but it would save the numerous delivery vans trundling through the village. I myself had 2 (small and light) parcels delivered over the past few days, one by the postie (fine – no problem), the other one by a separate delivery van. I would have been more than happy to collect it from a collection point in the village, thereby avoiding the delivery van having to drive up to my house. Have you had some similar thoughts and ideas as a result of the Covid19 lockdown?
And lastly another good news story: I’m delighted to hear that a certain DT is supporting trials to cure Covid19 patients by zapping people with a good dose of UV light and rinsing their inners with disinfectant. I’ve already been out in the sun (a lot), so that’s fine for the UV, and have a bit of Dettol left that I can use for my inners. (Please don’t try this at home).

Targeting exercise during the coronavirus lockdown
Exercise videos targeting every age group and fitness level are being posted online daily by Derbyshire Dales District Council’s sports development team.
There are family videos too where children can join mums and dads to do simple exercises to encourage family activities together.
The videos can be watched on the sports development team’s Facebook page at www.faceook.com/activedales and on their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtF5MzFrnREejMJvZ-wQWrw
A District Council spokesperson said: “Exercise and wellbeing are so important during the coronavirus lockdown and we’ve recorded a range of short 10 minute videos focusing on different parts of the body such as legs, upper body, abdominals and waist.
“We also have workouts suitable for those new to exercise, some chair-based workouts and strength and balance exercises suitable for older adults.
“In the coming days and weeks we will also be adding stretch and relax routines and exercises at your desk.”
Staff members also go live each week with a strength and conditioning class and a total body workout

Just to keep everyone in the loop the Parwich Carnival and Recreation Committee are not going to make any decisions on the Wakes Programme up until the last minute! We will follow all of the government guidelines around COVID-19 and depending on the situation Wakes may look a little different this year but if we are permitted then we will work closely with the Odd Fellows, Legion and Sycamore and we are are hopeful that some sort of programme can be achieved. It’s a watch this space scenario and if we are allowed with the help of the Community we will do the best we can to make it the best we can.
Stay safe and well
Parwich Carnival and Recreation Committee

A male golden lab has arrived at the pub with no owner in sight. He’s a biggish lad and has no collar on.
Jane and Kirsty are keeping him safe, please go and collect him asap.
