We have received (well I’ve taken a photo of) an entry for 15 years and older. Can you guess who has designed it?
Keep the entries coming in till Sunday. Val and John K have kindly agreed to judge.

Hello! I wonder if you are aware whether the Easter church service is being recorded and put on line please? My parents live in the village and they’d really appreciate this if possible ( although the challenge will be to get them to be able to see it on their tablet!!!). Thanks so much and for all your hard work
Stay safe
Jackie Bateman ( nee Simpson).

I have a gas BBQ that I no longer use. It has a gas bottle with it but I’m not sure how much gas is in it. If anyone would like it I can leave it at the end of my drive for collection. I just though with the weather improving and everyone staying at home someone might be able to make some use of it. If anyone’s interested please comment on this post.

Normal recycling collections set to restart on 15 April
GOOD NEWS! From the middle of next week Serco aim to resume normal collections of recyclable waste here in Derbyshire Dales, although garden waste collections will remain temporarily suspended.
They will be taking as much excess recycling waste as they can, utilising the vans that are transporting staff to rounds to meet social distancing regulations. This will keep the recycling trucks operating for longer. Please note how to properly present any excess recycling on DDDC website at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/excessrecycling

Since the last Lestor Lowe delivery a number of people have asked me whether we will be having another delivery. I have spoken to LL and they tell me that delivery would be in about 2 weeks time . Could you let me know as soon as possible if you think you would wish to place an order so that I can see whether it will be worth while booking a delivery slot?

Hi all,
I’m using some of my time on furlough to make scrub bags for the Derby Royal, and others who need them. The idea is that at the end of their shift nurses, Dr’s etc put their scrubs straight into a washable bag and tie it up before taking it home and putting it straight into their washer, removing the need to touch contaminated clothes once home.
I’ve made my first batch but am now running short of fabric. Would anyone have any pillowcases, duvet covers or fabric they be happy to donate. Pillowcases would be ideal as they’re quick to convert, fabric would need to be a half meter minimum.
If anyone could help donate then please contact me via rosieposie2052@hotmail.com or 07712 481 197.
I’m happy to collect from wherever you’re located. Any help at all would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Rosie

We received this yesterday from Alsop:
On this day exactly a year ago I reported in these pages spotting the first swallows of 2019. Earlier this evening, I spotted a pair (a male & a female) hawking above Church and Manor Farms up at Alsop en le Dale. It was a joy, as ever, to see their creamy breasts catching the golden light of the setting Sun as they performed their beautiful acrobatics in pursuit of their quarry. Of course, they have returned to a (temporarily) very different England. It was unthinkable a year ago that we’d be facing a pandemic such as this, but here we are.
A sign of continuity and renewal, the swallows’ return traditionally signal better things to come, and I hope you will not mind my re-posting a comment I made last year at this time:
Throughout his long life, my late father (Tideswell family) looked forward to swallows returning in the Spring following their annual epic journey home from sub-Saharan Africa. As a child, I remember him watching the skies around this time of year and, having spotted the first, announcing with a happy smile: “Swallers are back!”. Now he is gone, I make a point every year of whispering on his behalf, and with the inevitable tear: “welcome back”, to the Swallers.
Stay safe and well everyone.

With so many people struggling financially, Ashbourne foodbank would welcome extra donations. They are currently short of tinned meats. I’m sure they could also use some inexpensive easter eggs (for the kids), as well as other food items . If people left items in the bus shelter by mid day on Friday, I will either get the foodbank to collect the donations or take them to a drop off point myself on Friday afternoon.

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
Bottle of wine for the first right answer
Kind regards

We can’t meet in St Peter’s but a congregation from Parwich and surrounding villages will be meeting on Sunday at 1800 via Zoom to say Evening Prayer together using words from the 1662 Prayer Book and 21st century technology so we can see and hear each other (but not singing!). To receive:

We hope to see and hear you.

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.
Happy Hunting

Update: – the packs Rob brought back for this weekend have sold but he has more at work which he can bring back on Monday – let him know this weekend if you are interested, or give him a call on Monday on his mobile.
Rob has several catering packs of unsmoked, rindless back bacon for sale. They are large packs – 2.25 kg; it’s hard to count but we are guessing there are over 36 slices of bacon per pack (it looks reasonably thick). The use by date is the 16th April. See back, top and side views below.
The bacon has not been frozen and therefore the packs could be split into smaller portions and frozen for future use. Each pack is selling for £10. Call us on Parwich 203 or 07812 996851 to order and arrange delivery / collection.

The Parish Council have published an item on their website regarding the affects of the coronavirus outbreak on their work, here

Then latest news on bin collections can be found here
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.

NHS Nightingale would like to fill it’s new wards with bright & beautiful drawings and paintings by children. They need to be A4 so they can be laminated and kept clean and germ free.
UPDATE:
Once completed, people are asked to share them online using #rainbowsfornightingale

Bin collections update – Wednesday 1 April
The bins situation today is that household waste collections continue as scheduled, but there are no garden rounds, food is being collected on the grey bin/black sack rounds and only one of the usual five recycling crews is out collecting.
Household waste collections remain a priority for our reduced crews.
More about today’s scheduled recycling rounds >
Looking at the website it looks like we won’t get a collection today

We have received the following from DDDC:
Food waste
A reminder that due to the coronavirus outbreak we are now collecting your food waste *fortnightly* on your scheduled household waste collection day.
If you are running out of the biodegradable food caddy liners we supply, you can use instead any biodegradable bag that conforms to BS:EN13432 standard displaying the logo in the middle of the photo shown.
In the current circumstances we are also happy for you to put food waste direct into your kerbside caddy (it may need washing out afterwards) or add your kitchen caddy to your kerbside collection.
Thank you.

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
Fiona H
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.

We are indebted to Sue and Mike H for this information on Ashbourne shopping –
Shopping possibilities in Ashbourne for those self-isolating or just wanting to avoid more contactI just wanted to let people know the measures a couple of shops were taking against Coronavirus. Natural Choice is limiting it to just 2 shoppers at a time (and are still doing refills, wearing gloves) whilst Fresh Choice now serve you from the shop entrance, picking what you need, wearing gloves. Both shops are closing earlier (from 3 or 4pm) to process their deliveries. So if you are heading to their shops, best to go well before. Both places were not busy, with only a couple of people in the queue when we went yesterday after lunch. I have to say, they have all had a pretty exhausting few days but have devised brilliant new systems.The following shops below are offering deliveries. As Fresh Choice are dropping veg orders off at The Butchery in Tissington, they confirmed to me that they could coordinate just one drop-off there too. But people would have to place their orders with each individual shop. When I spoke to them they said they intend this service for those who really cannot leave their home.Contact Fresh Choice on email :pinder-dayal@hotmail.com or ring 0791 6142050To be clear, ring each shop to place an order, Pinder at Fresh Choice will only co-ordinate.ALHulme FishmongerAshbourne BakehouseFresh ChoiceCheddar GorgeNigel’s ButchersMark’s Family ButcherNatural ChoiceMaison du Bière (hard to write this one when it should be ” de la Bière!!”)ArtisanHope this helps if people are still finding it hard to get a delivery slot.Sue H

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
DELIVERY NOTES and Covid-19: Please note, there are a few factors currently effecting delivery timelines across the board, including shortage of oil supply due to extremely high demand, and the looming shortage of staff for suppliers due to Covid-19 risks and quarantining. If you are likely to run out in the next 6 weeks this order may not be suitable due to these potential issues.
Estimated delivery times are now up to 3+ weeks from the order close date. If you are low on oil, this order will not be suitable. Delivery times are estimated and subject to supply, weather conditions and the effect of Covid-19 on the delivery chain, so please order early. For peace of mind, we always recommend ordering when you have around six weeks supply left in cold conditions. However, if you do not need to order, we would recommend holding back as rates are higher than they should be due to the demand and current shortage of stock.
Please also be aware, the Easter Bank Holiday at the start of April will also increase demand for oil and timelines.
Due to Covid-19 some suppliers are no longer leaving delivery dockets at the time of delivery, they will be posting after delivery them instead.
Rate: £0.3895 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])
