We have two international volunteers from Germany staying with us the weekend of the Well Dressings. We’d like to walk over hill and dale to get to Tissington, the only thing stopping us is two pairs of wellies – I need a size 39 and size 40 to borrow. Does anyone have some they can lend us?
Many thanks,
Debbie W 390568
Added 26th March: Debbie says thank you, the wellies are now sorted.

We are updating the Diary page this week, so if you have any Alsop, Ballidon, Parwich or Pikehall events (for April and May) that you want to go in the Diary in time to be included in the Peak Five Churches Magazine’s April issue, please send them in by Tuesday evening (24th March).
Including our Diary in the Church magazine is important as it helps you reach some of those who are not on-line.
Please send Diary information to parwich@hotmail.co.uk or give it to me (Peter T) tel. 287.
Thank you, Peter

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.
