Well, surprisingly there was a gap in the clouds just at the maximum of the eclipse.
Thank you Cheryl W for sending us this ‘Villager Jim’ photo.
(Added 12.30, have found out that ‘Villager Jim’ is an Eyam based photographer, so though looking pretty much as the eclipse did from Parwich, this photo is likely to have been taken from a little further north. To find out more about Villager Jim and his work click here to see his Facebook page. It is well worth checking out and if you are a Facebook member clicking his ‘like’ button.)

This is a picture of my niece, Emma Hacking, following the BBC’s advice on how to safely watch the solar eclipse using a colander.
Hopefully something to make you smile on a Friday morning

Just in case you have missed the hype, or have been overwhelmed by information on
- Vernal equinoxes (corrected to – for this year 10.45pm Friday 20th March), this is the mid point between the longest and shortest days, when night and day are approximately the same length.
- Super moons (moonrise tomorrow Friday 6.05am), occur when the moon orbits closest to the Earth, meaning this is when it appears largest from Earth. Tomorrow morning sees a new/crescent moon, click here for a sun and moon timetable for Derby.
- Solar eclipses occur when the moon travels in front of the sun. Tomorrow morning’s partial eclipse sees for our area at its maximum the moon obscuring some 90% of the sun.
here is the timing of tomorrow’s partial solar eclipse:
| Eclipse Timing | |||
| Day | Time | Event | Location |
| Fri 20th | 8.30 to 10.40am | Solar Eclipse 90% maximum at aprox 9.30am |
UK |
With some lovely clear weather this afternoon, let’s hope there is a similar break in the clouds tomorrow morning. Click here for the Met Office information relating to tomorrow’s eclipse. Also for instructions on eye safety when observing the sun and the eclipse click here.

In the February meeting the Parish Council decided that the minutes of the parish council meetings will now only be placed in the village shop and on the Parish Council’s own Website (when it becomes available). The agendas of the parish council meetings will now only be placed in the village shop and on the parish council notice board.
The blog team is aware that a number of people rely on the internet to view the minutes of the parish council meetings and, as the parish council website site is not yet available, we have photographed these documents. Unfortunately this means the quality of these documents is rather poor; however you can still read them. Please follow the links below to the agenda for tomorrow’s council meeting and the draft minutes from February’s meeting.

Parwich Parish Council would like to advise about the forthcoming parish council elections in May 2015.
The nomination pack and set of forms are now available to view and download from Derbyshire Dales District Council’s site:
If you are eligible and interested in standing as a member of Parwich Parish Council in May 2015 then please follow the instructions found through the above site regarding the election process and deadlines. Please note applications must not be made to the clerk to Parwich Parish Council.
Parwich Parish Council should consist of 7 members council (to be quorate at meetings there must be at least three parish council members elected in May).
Some members of the present parish council may not choose to stand for another term of office; therefore, if insufficient interest is received by Derbyshire Dales District Council at the elections from present members of the parish council and members of the parish, to be members of Parwich Parish Council, then Parwich parish may be without a parish council.
Please give consideration to this notice, to viewing the information regarding the application process and the implications of possibly being without a parish council.
S Hampson
Clerk
Parwich PC
* Deadline for submissions is 4pm on 9 April 2015.

In just over a month the most exciting game on the planet will start a new season and you dear reader can be part of it. With no prior knowledge needed or indeed trips to the gym to get in shape (not a bad idea really) you too can participate in the cut and thrust of Crown Green bowling.
This cannot be I hear you cry. There has to be a catch or major expenses, but not a bit of it. All you need to do is to come down to Parsons Croft and start playing. It really is that simple. So shake off the drudgery of winter and welcome the coming of spring and get down there.
The Green at present is too wet but fingers crossed it will dry out soon. It would be really great to see some new faces and for others to enjoy one of the best Crown Greens in Derbyshire.
The new season starts the first week in April so not long to go.
What are you waiting for come and join us.
Call John B 455, John H 302,

UPDATE – Ruby the Siamese cat is safely back at home after being found at Close Farm – thanks to Stuart and everyone who has helped to find her.
Has anyone seen or heard (because she is very vocal) my Seal Point Siamese cat. She had been missing since early this morning which is unusual as she doesn’t normally go far or for very long. Please could you check any garages or out buildings in case she is trapped.
Thank you.
