This week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph included this piece on Clive:
Posted in People, Sport | Leave a Comment »
The following news has been shared with us by the Parish Council.
Important changes to bus services – Derbyshire Connect
Important changes to bus services – Derbyshire ConnectDerbyshire County Council is introducing a new bus service – Derbyshire Connect – on Monday 13th February 2017. This will replace services 101 and 102 which operate from the Thorpe and Parwich areas as well as two school services – the 103 and 104 – that run from Hognaston to Hulland Ward Primary School, and Kirk Ireton to Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School.
Derbyshire Connect will use an accessible minibus and run between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday, and 8am and 6pm on Saturdays. It will not run on Sundays. Instead of following a traditional timetabled route, Derbyshire Connect will operate anywhere within the times stated and operating zone (see map attached). Please note the emphasis on this service is its flexibility and the areas served can be changed, within this general operating area, to accommodate the journeys passengers may wish to make.
Journeys will have to be booked in advance, anytime from a week to two hours before travel. A standard fare will be charged but Gold card holders will be able to travel for free after 0930 during the week and anytime on Saturdays. Importantly, Derbyshire Connect will be available to everyone, including visitors, of all ages in the operating area.
Derbyshire Connect will be a pilot service for up to 12 months and if successful may shape the way that transport is provided in the future in the county’s rural areas. There are many successful services of this type operating around the country and we hope that Derbyshire Connect will be more responsive to passengers needs and provide greater travel choices.
For more information and details of the area affected continue reading Continue Reading »

Florence Foster Jenkins was a wealthy grande dame and patron of the arts who notoriously deluded herself she was a talented opera singer, warbling off-key at excruciating private concerts and soirees. Meryl Streep plays her with great gusto, the empress proud of her new clothes. This Florence is a scary amazon to go with Streep’s impersonations of Margaret Thatcher and Emmeline Pankhurst. Hugh Grant plays her indulgent partner and chief courtier, a failed Shakespearian actor – and his performance is genuinely touching. Simon Helberg (from The Big Bang Theory) is her cowed accompanist, a man who finds himself along for an increasingly bumpy ride.
“Stephen Frears’s new film is based on a true story, but one of the biggest compliments it can be paid is that you wouldn’t know it. Florence Foster Jenkins feels less like a biopic than a classic postwar studio comedy – a pillowy paean to silliness, and the perfect antidote for sobering times.
That’s particularly appropriate given its subject: an American amateur opera singer whose voice brought joy to millions in the depths of wartime, largely because she could turn even the most graceful coloratura soprano line into what could only be described as a contaminated aria.
Foster Jenkins wasn’t famous because her singing sounded like a cat fighting a duck in a wheelie bin, but because she committed to it with the panache and depth of feeling of a peak-form Callas. Her records became instant collectors’ items, and her concerts sold out immediately. Florence Foster Jenkins put musique brut on the stage of Carnegie Hall in New York City and gave two bucks from every ticket sale to charity.”- Daily Telegraph 4 star review

Has anyone in the village got a metal detector, and would they be willing to come to Pikehall, and possibly help me locate a water pipe? I should be most grateful, and a bottle or some other token of my appreciation will be gladly given in return.
Thank you, Robert Bunting

Clear skies permitting there will be a super moon on Monday 14th November 2016.
The moon will be the closest to Earth it’s been since January 1948. It will appear bigger than it has for almost 70 years. The next time the moon is closer will not be until 2034.
During the event, the moon will appear up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than an average full moon.
Lets hope for clear skies above Parwich.

Does anyone have an apple press that I could borrow? I have a glut of windfalls and fancy having a go at turning some into apple juice.

| Improving the Tissington Trail |
|
Work to resurface and widen part of the Tissington Trail in the Peak District National Park will begin tomorrow (10 November). A 1.7km length of the trail near Alsop Station car park is being improved, with repairs scheduled for completion by 8 January 2017. Use of this section of the trail will be restricted at times but will remain passable. The work is part of a rolling programme to improve safety and accessibility on the traffic-free trails in the UK’s first and original National Park. |
