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

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.

The oil price is down again, maybe as low as it will get?
The Oil Club price is 0.1856 per litre , Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
However Boiler Juice have a rate of 0.1686 , must be ordered by Sunday. New users can get a £10 discount on first order, there’s a few referral codes going around, here’s mine https://boilerjuice.mention-me.com/m/ol/yh3ri-243c1c4c88

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

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.

It can’t be much fun having a “BIG” birthday at this time but Carol, and all his friends in Parwich, would like to wish Alan a very happy 70th birthday – despite the restrictions, we are sure he will make the most of it! Have a great Birthday Alan!

It has been brought to our attention that many of our most vulnerable residents
Unfortunately, as a district council, we have no way of knowing who these residents are. Worse, some are likely to be difficult to reach via our usual communications channels. It would be much appreciated therefore if you could spread the word in your communities.
We have today launched a campaign urging family and friends to register for support on behalf of people who have received the NHS letter – anyone can do this online at www.gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable
We’re also again encouraging anyone not classed by their GP or hospital clinician as being clinically extremely vulnerable, but still needing support, to register for help via the County Council’s Community Response Unit atwww.derbyshire.gov.uk/gethelp or call 01629 535091 Monday to Friday 9amto 5pm and Saturdays 9am to 1pm.
You can share our Facebook campaign post here or re-Tweet our Twitter post here. We are also issuing this to our e-newsletter database and to local media.

I think we will get blue bins collected on Thursday. No Green garden bins or food caddies.

Our Parwich delivery is a collective delivery to one point in the village. This reduces social contact for everyone, including the delivery driver, and enables one delivery charge to be shared amongst us all. If you want a delivery to be made to your own house then you will need to order separately and pay the delivery charge.
We have had a really good response for the delivery so any charge for the collective delivery should be small.

Firstly, thank you all so much for getting involved and helping to decorate our beautiful village for Easter, it’s been fantastic to see everyone’s creations whether they’ve entered the competition or not.
All the entries have been great, and it’s made Val and John’s job of judging them a real challenge. They’ve chosen their winners based on the love and effort put into creating them. The winners are:
Under 7’s: Doug and Lily
7 – 15’s: Eva Jones
15 up: Glynis D
Prizes will be delivered tomorrow!
Thank you to Val and John K for judging for us, and big thanks once again to everyone for joining in and making this very strange Easter a special one for us all.
Thanks and stay safe, Rosie
