A UNITED KINGDOM tells the inspiring true story of Seretse Khama, the King of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana), and Ruth Williams, the London office worker he married in 1948 in the face of fierce opposition from their families and the British and South African governments. Seretse and Ruth defied family, Apartheid and empire – their love triumphed over every obstacle flung in their path and in so doing they transformed their nation and inspired the world.

A little later than planned but finally I’ve managed to catch up with my news from the garden. The sickening events in Manchester last week left me with little enthusiasm for writing garden trivia and it’s taken a while to get back into the mood.
A few weeks back Mrs. Monty and I visited the garden of Tilford House in Hognaston which was open as part of the National Gardens Scheme. The owners, appropriately named Mr. and Mrs. Gardner (I kid you not) have created a wonderful streamside garden of woodland, wildlife and pond areas. A good example of a garden style where weeds are tolerated and even enhance the overall environment. We’re already looking forward to our next garden visit to Culland Hall on the 18th June which has a great plant sale with many specialist nurseries in attendance (be warned, cash only)
One of Peter Gardner’s favourite plants is the Hosta of which he has some 300 varieties. His wife Jean refers to his collection as his “hostalry”. The Hosta is also one of my favourites and whilst I don’t have such numbers I have been creating my own hostalry for the local population of slugs and snails. This is how the menu is looking so far –

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Having got three full houses in a row in the Tuesday League, what about a fourth? Not doing too shabbily in the Thursday League either. To cap it all we have a new Member for the Bowls Club. Thank you God. We have to thank him as nobody else seems to care. What a scorcher not only the weather, but on the green as well.
Tuesday League
May 23 – Home – Wirksworth.
Bear in mind that we are still a few players short for various reasons so our results are scarily good.
We shared the four games two each. Pat B playing with Tony A is in a real groove and the pair of them won at a canter 21 – 9. Dawn A, back from her holliers, playing with Harry B also won 21 – 15. Although our other two pairs lost they lost by fewer points than Wirksworth. John B and Sue A 18 – 21 and Dennis and Clara E 11 – 21 which gave us a win by 71 – 66.
After this weeks match we have moved up to third in the League. Next week we play the league leaders. Keep your fingers crossed.
Next Match – Whitworth Park – Away – 30 May 6.30pm.
Thursday League
May 25 – Home – Bakewell.
Bakewell pipped us to the top spot in the Division last year by only a few points and were promoted as champions so we wanted to try to win if we could.
Ian J partnered by Audrey B had a cracking win 21 – 16. Ian is playing particularly well this year he is rapidly becoming Scotland’s second best sportsperson after Andy Murray. Audrey has only just about recovered from her broken wrist, what a result. The other two games we lost, although Dot H and Sue A came close succumbing 17 – 21. After the doubles we were 8 points down.
John H gave us a great start in the singles winning 15 – 8, followed by an even better win by Tony A 15 – 5. Dawn, playing to her usual high standard came home 15 – 9. Our final singles win came via the equally brilliant Edith who won 15 – 10. The two remaining games we lost, but because of the aggregate wins we had we won the singles games by 18 points. Overall result, Parwich 130, Bakewell 120. This will hopefully keep us in our mid table position.
Next match – Away – Matlock Park – 1 June – 1.45pm.
John B.

Hi Monty
In the last couple of years I have successfully treated my nepeta (catmint) to the ‘Chelsea chop’ around this time, but will this work for perennial geraniums? Are there other cottage garden plants that might benefit….? Thanks, Emma S

Thank you to Karen Watson (nee Steeples) who has shared this newspaper cutting with us. It is from the Ashbourne Telegraph December 1970 and records the retirement of Mr Fearn. Karen is on the photo and is easily identified! Can anyone identify the other children? I think I have spotted Janet Bainbridge (nee Goldstraw).
