Thank you Jason for this update:
Fish and Chip van was here last night… and the food was fantastic!!
I mentioned that I thought he was coming next week, but it appears he has messed up his dates and so will not be here next Thursday but will be here on 6th April instead and then every 2 weeks.
We have updated the Events Diary and click here for a menu of what we missed last night. Looking forward to Thursday 6th April. If you have any questions you can contact Porky’s on tel. 0751 107 6249.

75 Years Ago – 7 March 1942 Derby Daily Telegraph
125 Years Ago – 2 March 1892 Derby Mercury
This seems to be a family wrangle. The defendant is named in other reports as James Beresford. The cottage in dispute in which Joseph Beresford, his wife and children were living was Orchard View. Joseph’s wife was Louisa Twigge. Louisa’s aunt was Hannah Calladine (nee Twigge). Continue Reading »

Time is moving a pace and signs of Spring are eveywhere. Our winter visitors have departed and the regular summer residents are becoming more noticable.
When I saw this visitor during the RSPB Garden Birdwatch he was a drab brown bird but now that brown cover is wearing off to reveal the deep black head
The Great East West Divide
Strolling round the village this week I’ve been struck by the apparent differences in plants. Whilst the West End excells as the centre of culture and entertainment ( cinema, theatre, indoor sports arena and gymnasium, live music venues, disco, social club to name just a few) it is a veritable barren wasteland compared to the East End when it comes to the flora. Take a look at these samples from the East End and compare those found here in the grounds of Haughty Towers.
The contrast in the Ornamental Currant (Ribes) is quite striking with our specimen looking several weeks behind.
It shows how position, even in a small area like Parwich can make a huge sifference to how a garden performs.

New charges for bins and sacks in Derbyshire Dales
Further cuts in central government funding have prompted Derbyshire Dales District Council to charge for replacing waste bins and sacks from 1 April.
But all replacement recycling containers including blue-lid bins, inserts, blue bags, kerbside and kitchen caddies will remain free of charge.
Replacing all bins and containers for free is currently costing Derbyshire Dales Council Tax payers around £38,000 a year. But following a public consultation last year, charges will apply for replacement grey wheeled bins where the bin has gone missing or been damaged. There will also be a nominal charge to replace green-lid bins.
Dales households that use black sacks rather than grey bins for waste disposal will receive a free year’s supply of black sacks in April and May – but it will be the last time free black sacks are delivered. Next year, residents will need to buy their own standard size black sacks. Continue Reading »

- Curlews have been congregating near the village for the last few weeks.
- Siskins have been spotted nibbling on sunflower hearts on the feeder.
- We saw our first Peacock butterfly in the sunshine today (surely too early).
It will be the first day of spring on 20th March (astronomical). We thought it would be nice to share your first sightings of the year, send in your observations to the blog using the comments field below.
