As the weather looks like it could be reasonable this Sunday (November 17th), the Friends of Pump Hill are planning an impromptu clean-up of the Pump Hill area for a couple of hours starting at 9am.
We’ll be pulling up weeds and tidying up some of the wood and stone. If you’d like to muck in, please come along.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Oil prices continue to hold steady this week with Brent Crude hovering at around $62 a barrel. Estimated delivery times are between 7 to 10 working days*.
However with Christmas just over five weeks away, if you require heating before Christmas, I would recommend ordering this weekend. A) to be sure you have oil before Christmas and B) to avoid a surge prices as demand on suppliers increases noticeably the weeks leading up to Christmas.
Also please check your tank levels to be sure. Emergency deliveries during December can be expensive so I would recommend a visual check on your oil level!
TIP: Overtime water can build up in your tank due to condensation. To prevent unwanted water taking up space in your tank and causing issues we recommend using a Water Scavenger, which will absorb contaminated water. It is simple to use, just fix the cord to the tank and drop in the scavenger, it will absorb up any water and you can then dispose of it. Or if you would like to test for water, you can purchase a Water Test Kit. Please visit The Club Store for more information.
Rate: £0.4550 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

| New Peak District archaeology book – Reading the Peak District Landscape |
 |
| A new book has been launched to help people understand how the Peak District landscape has been shaped over thousands of years by past generations.
‘Reading the Peak District Landscape’ has been written by John Barnatt who, prior to his recent retirement, worked as the Senior Survey Archaeologist for the Peak District National Park Authority for 27 years. Throughout the 272-page book, John describes many of the area’s archaeological sites and landscapes, illustrated with colour photographs, maps, plans and drawings, to help explain how places in the Peak District have come to look the way they do today. The book explores how people have lived and worked in the landscape, from scattered farmsteads to Medieval villages, and industrial sites from different ages, where lead, coal and stone have been mined and quarried. Prehistoric sites, Roman, Medieval, and remains from later periods, all feature in the book. Author and archaeologist, John Barnatt said: “Wherever you look in the Peak District landscape you will find that it has been influenced in some way by people. Whether you’re looking at the pattern of walls around a village that preserve the Medieval strip fields, or at stone guide stoops and hollow ways on the moors that show ancient transport routes, these are cultural landscapes which allow us to feel a connection with our past.I hope that people reading the book will be inspired to look at what is around them in different ways and start to read for themselves the evidence they can see in the landscape.” Publication of ‘Reading the Peak District Landscape’ has been supported by the Peak District National Park Authority and Historic England. Peak District National Park Authority member with responsibility for landscape and heritage, Ken Smith said: “The Peak District landscape is beautiful and appreciated by millions for its wild-looking moorlands, panoramic views and gorgeous dales, but the views everyone enjoys are largely the result of how people have previously managed the land as well as now. It’s important to understand that the landscape contains traces of past activity from different periods and that helps tell its story. This wonderful book is the culmination of decades of research and it explores how many generations of people and communities – from prehistory to post-industrial times – have shaped the land. It is packed with interesting case studies that describe and interpret the Peak District through time, explaining and mapping the landscape.” The paperback book ‘Reading the Peak District Landscape’, priced at £20 as an introductory offer (r.r.p. £30), is available to buy from National Park visitor centres at Bakewell and Castleton, and online at www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/shop.

I found some money on the road along Creamery Lane that someone must have dropped. No fortune, but happy to return it to the owner, if they can tell me how much and the likely place. Otherwise I’ll donate it to the Blog.

The Carnival and Recreation Committee would like to thank everyone who came along and supported the bonfire this year. It was a great evening helped by loud fireworks, curry and chips and a break from the rain (thankfully it isn’t tonight). Your support is invaluable in keeping these events going.
An extra special thank you to everyone who helped build and light the bonfire and to Roy and David for an excellent job raking the site clean.
See you next year

It’s just some of the larger pieces of furniture (a could of beds and mattresses, a couple of arm chairs and a fridge freezer).
If you can help, please call Janet on 01298 687 289.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Oil prices hold steady this week with Brent Crude hovering at around $61/$62 a barrel. Estimated delivery times are between 7 to 10 working days*.
With the weather turning noticeably colder, have you checked your tank levels? Please order early and allow plenty of time for delivery. We recommend ordering when your tank gets down to 35%-40% or six weeks supply.

The Parwich Carnival and Recreation Committee are starting to work hard on putting together the Wakes programme for 2020 but we need YOUR help! We are keen to revamp the latter end of the week – mainly Thursday/Friday and we are also keen to make sure we are offering activities which appeal to the older children and young at heart in the village.
If you have any ideas on what events/activities we could offer then please email us at lucywigley@googlemail.com and we will very happily discuss them. We are a very very small Committee so if you are also able to help organise a new event then that would be very gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance for all your amazing ideas
