Spring is fast approaching and our winter visitors are departing, it’s time to start thinking gardens!
After reading Emma’s recent post about the best broad bean and tomatoes seeds to grow in Parwich I got to thinking how much gardening knowledge there is in the village and how little I know! Though I’ve successfully grown both for the last two years I was embarrassed to post a comment as the beans came as small plants labelled “Broad Beans” from Homebase and the tomatoes nicely planted up in large hanging baskets having been grown on in the big greenhouses at Wyaston Nurseries. My gardening experience seems to revolve around rotting rose blossoms, mildewy bears britches, brown spotted broad beans, non-appearing carrots and hosting slug and snail parties.
So now you know my level of gardening knowledge you will understand why I thought it would be a good idea to start a regular gardening post on the blog where we could share the pool of local knowledge with us newcomers/novice gardeners. After all what grows happily in Berkshire won’t necessarily survive in Parwich. There always seems to be people with too many seeds/plants/crops so this could be a useful sharing and swopping point. So welcome to the place where you can ask the gardening questions you were always afraid to ask!
Plant of the Month
The first regular feature is my garden plant of the month (always assuming any plants survive! ). This month it is the Galanthus – the Snowdrop. Our garden seems to be crowded with them at the moment – not planted by me I should add.
I’ve read they should be lifted and divided every 3-4 years, after flowering. We’ve been here for 3 years so I guess that’s a job for me sometime soon?
For Project of the month, Any Answers and Jobs for the garden… Continue Reading »

Nordic Walking in the Derbyshire Dales
Derbyshire Dales District Council is planning to add Nordic Walking to its popular Walking for Health programme this spring.
A series of one-hour taster sessions for the free walks are planned in Whitworth Park, Darley Dale from 10.00am – 3.00pm on Wednesday 22 February and Tuesday 21 March. The sessions will be run by trained International Nordic Walking Federation Instructors and walking poles will be provided.
Nordic Walking has proven benefits for many health conditions including arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson’s disease, pulmonary disease, and menopause. It is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. Classes range from gentle walks for people with health concerns, to workout walks, which are a great way to improve fitness, lose weight and tone the whole body.
To book a place on one of the taster sessions please contact Becky Burton at becky.burton@derbyshiredales.gov.uk or phone 01629 761225. To find out more visit www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/NordicWalking

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
Free Entrance. Refreshments. Raffle

We are looking at moving to Parwich middle of March and I’d need a childminder to fetch my 8 year old son from school twice a week for a max of 2.5 hours per night. If anyone can recommend it would be greatly appreciated.

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.
