I have been having problems with TV reception, via an indoor aerial, on all the BBC Freeview channels since at least Sunday. It has been deteriorating throughout the week, from heavily pixilated images to my TV saying there is no signal. All the other channels are perfectly fine.
I use the signal from the relay transmitter located in the Village. The BBC website says there are no reported problems (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/ ). I reported the problem this morning online, but have had no feedback as their online form allows no means of identifying yourself. At 6pm today, the TV transmition is still impaired for the BBC channels and their website is still saying no faults have been reported.
Is anyone else having problems with BBC reception? I will phone the BBC in the morning if the problem persists.

NB has anyone also being having Broadband problems as my BT download speeds are consistently slow at present prohibiting the use of BBC iPlayer?

St Peter’s Churchyard always looks smart, but currently the new section is seeing a dramatic transformation. The mammoth ‘compost heap’ that had been growing out of control for some years is gone!
A big thank you to all who put so much work into the Churchyard.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Last match of the season in one League and second last in the other. Considering the mistake of getting promoted last year it has been an enjoyable season, most of the time.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Ashwood Park – 1 September – 5.45pm.
As the nights draw in the start of the closing matches gets earlier and earlier and we had only just finished lunch before we had to play! The players at Ashwood Park are really a good lot, but they do need to train their midges, we got mauled to bits. Thankfully the bowls was not so much of a mauling. Both teams won two games each with Tony A and John B winning 21 – 12 and Edith and Rick also winning by the same margin. Our other two pairs did not fare so well and because Ashwood won the games by a greater margin than us the final score was Ashwood 66, Parwich 64. We had been tussling with Whitworth Park for third place in the league and this score unfortunately dropped us down to fourth place, the best position we have achieved for a long time.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Bakewell – 3 September – 1.45pm
As you followers of this fabulous sports reporting will know Bakewell’s green is a long and thin oblong with not much crown, but lots of small humps and hollows and their player know every blade of grass. Our doubles pairs did really well however, but still we trailed Bakewell by 58 to 46 with only Tony and Sue A giving us a good win.
The singles were shared three games each with Dawn winning 15 – 3 and Edith 15 – 8. Where would we be without them? The singles score finished 70 points each with the overall result a win for Bakewell 128 – 116. It’s not very clear if parachute payments are made for relegated teams like they have in the Premier Football League, I’ll make enquiries and let you know after our final match of the season next week.
Last match – Home – Matlock Park – 10 September – 1.45pm.

Cheryl W asks “what do you reckon this little fellow is? ”
Posted in Fauna | Leave a Comment »
Thank you Mike R for this information:
Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera)
I wonder if any other residents of Parwich have found this plant in their gardens. This year for the first time I have found an abundance of this weed in our gardens at Flaxdale. I have not been aware of it before now. It grows in height at an astonishing speed, about an inch a day.
Wikipedia describes it as follows… “It typically grows to 1 to 2 m (3.3 to 6.6 ft) high, with a soft green or red-tinged stem, and lanceolate leaves 5 to 23 cm (2.0 to 9.1 in) long. The crushed foliage has a strong musty smell. Below the leaf stems the plant has glands that produce a sticky, sweet-smelling, and edible nectar. The flowers are pink, with a hooded shape, 3 to 4 cm (1¼ to 1½ in) tall and 2 cm (¾ in) broad; the flower shape has been compared to a policeman’s helmet.
After flowering between June and October, the plant forms seed pods 2 to 3 cm (¾ to 1¼ in) long and 8 mm broad (¼ in), which explode when disturbed, scattering the seeds up to 7 metres (23 feet).” (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impatiens_glandulifera )
It was highlighted as a nuisance on the East Midlands evening news recently. Whenever I see it in the garden I pull it up and compost it before the seed pods form.
I would be interested to know of anyone else’s experience with this invasive weed and whether I am doing the correct thing.
Mike R
The above plant was photographed in a Creamery Lane garden this July. It went from less than a foot tall to full flower in just over three weeks. It is particularly problematic along water courses, where it’s rapid growth quickly smothers native plants.

Thank you to Darwin for allowing us to share his photo of the last flying Vulcan, which was seen in our skies this teatime. This is the last year the plane will fly, so those that saw it were very lucky.
