February Parwich Film Show
BRIDGE OF SPIES
Based on true events during the Cold War, a lawyer, James B. Donovan is recruited by the CIA and involved in an intense negotiation mission to release and exchange a CIA U-2 spy-plane pilot, Francis G. Powers. The pilot was arrested alive after his plane was shot down by the Soviet Union during a mission and stays in the company of a KGB intelligence officer, Rudolf Abel, who was arrested for espionage in the US.
Starring Tom Hanks, and Mark Rylance, directed by Steven Spielberg
6 Oscar nominations, won Best Supporting Actor
Certificate 12
Guardian 5/5 star review “Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance red hot in Steven Spielberg’s magnificent cold war thriller. The tense negotiations over the recovery of U2 pilot Gary Powers in 1960s Berlin are the real-life backdrop to this wonderfully uncynical. With terrific craftsmanship, pure storytelling gusto and that Midas-touch ability to find grounds for optimism everywhere, Steven Spielberg has dramatised a true-life cold war spy-swap drama”.
FRIDAY 17th February 7.45PM

Thanks to Richard T for the following report on Derbyshire Connect’s visit:
Meet Iris. She will become a familiar face across this part of Derbyshire Dales as the driver of the Derbyshire Connect bus service. The existing loss making service finishes on Friday March 31 so there will be about six weeks cross over.
Derbyshire Connect begins operation on Monday February 13 and is essentially a “Dial a Bus service” running Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm and 8am and 6pm on Saturday. To use the 15 seater, it is essential to book ahead, the further the better and those with medical appointments will get priority.
The geography of the service covers an area roughly between Cromford and Wirksworth to the east and Onecote to the west, Ashbourne to the south and the A5012 to the north. Iris will collect you, even from your front door, and drop you off within the area. the same is true in reverse.
To book, dial 01335 342951 between 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday. Alternatively, email bookings@derbyshireconnect.org.uk but this will require a minimum of 24 hours notice.
For the first week, the new service will be FREE to encourage people to use it and familiar with booking. Thereafter, fares will be £2 single or £3.80 return. Children £1.20 single or £2.40 return. Bline 2 cardholders get a 25 per cent discount.
Gold card holders travel free after 9.30am
Derbyshire Connect driver, Iris Raile, said: “There has been much interest and enthusiasm as we have taken the bus around the area for people to become familiar with the potential for the new service. We really want people to use it and make the service a regular part of their lives to get around.
“My colleague, Chris Hegarty, and I have had a warm welcome in Parwich and I look forward to getting to know many of you as you begin to use Derbyshire Connect.”
Leaflets are being left in the Sycamore and The Legion and please hand them on to potential users.
A similar service already operates in the Staffordshire Moorlands which has a common boundary with Derbyshire Connect allowing bus users to get as far as Leek and Buxton.
Erin and mum Lucy try out the tailgate lift on the bus.

Can anyone advise me as to what varieties of broad beans are best for growing in our part of the world? I have tried a number with varying success and would be interested to see what other people have found.
I am also thinking ahead and wondering if any one can advise me on the best type of tomato plants to grow from seed….?
Last year I tried several indoor and outdoor varieties, all grown from seed. I was a bit late getting them started, but even taking this into account the results were pretty disappointing. Even those that produced decent fruits didn’t have that great a flavour.
I have concluded (having tried previously) that I can not grow outdoor tomatoes here at Pond Cottage (I am convinced our garden is a couple of degrees colder than the rest of Parwich!). So, this year I will be keeping them all in the greenhouse. I am more interested in flavour than yield – can anyone suggest anything, or give me some tips?
Many thanks
Emma

We have a number of cockerels available, free to good homes. All of the birds have been hatched and reared at our house (Pond Cottage) in Parwich during the summer of 2016.
First up is ‘Hamlet Jnr’. He is actually a cross between one of our Burford Brown hens and our own cockerel (Hamlet), who is a white Sussex (Alice) / specked Sussex (Anthony) cross. However, he looks just like his Dad. Click on continue reading below to see Hamlet Jnr’s lineage!
The other two are Araucanas, we bought 6 pure breed eggs and incubated them in the spare room. The Araucana is an unusual bird originating from Chile. This breed’s distinguishing features include blue eggs, the colour permeating through to the inside of the shell, unlike all other egg colouring.
We would happily keep all the cockerels but there are too many for our hens…. If you are interested please call Emma or Rob on 203, or 07812 996851. However, please respect our wishes and do not enquire unless you are planning to keep the birds alive.
We have several other cockerels and will be advertising these in due course.

Tomorrow’s (Friday 27th January) ‘Live& Local’ Event is described as….
‘A fast moving, delightfully bonkers comedy cabaret tribute to local radio, packed with outrageously funny media mockery (and some superb slapstick). With the audience playfully invited to join the action – live sound effects, taste test vox pops and ‘on-air’ phone-in blather – this smart spoof is a sparkling crowd pleaser.’
