Our Weatherman in the Village says:
A big Atlantic low has been feeding warmer air across the country for the past few days resulting in unseasonably warm weather. This is likely to change during the week to more normal late October temperatures. The unsettled theme continues through the week with bands of rain being driven through by strong winds. Typical autumn conditions.

The main has burst again and the vast majority of the village including school is without water. We have no other option in cases like this other than to close the school.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

Caroline H messaged at 8am:
I spoke with the men from Severn Trent who are working on the burst pipe. There is no intention to turn the water off again today but the pressure will be much lower for the time being, while repairs are taking place.

Apparently Parwich School is closed today because the water is off. Earlier there was no mains water running in at least part of the Village. At present on the Green (8.45am) I have water but with very low pressure.
Please add comments if you have any updates.

Does any know what has happened to our water supply……?
I know it’s off at several house across the village but I don’t know if everyone is affected.
8.30 am update (of sorts) – Severn Trent don’t know what the problem is, they have had several calls from Parwich and are in the process of investigating.
There is a website for incidents – http://www.stwater.co.uk/households/live-updates/, currently showing disruption to supply in Parwich…..
The website was upadted at 8.30 am this morning and says
Customers in this area may experience a temporary loss of supply or low water pressure. A problem was reported on 16/10/2014 and we are currently working hard to resolve this as soon as possible. We aim to restore all supplies within 6 hours.

The funeral for Brian Foden will take place at 1.30 pm on Thursday 16 October at St Peter’s Church, followed by a burial in the churchyard. There will then be refreshments in the Memorial Hall. Jon and Sam have requested family flowers only . Any donations will go to the Derbyshire Air Ambulance which came to Brian’s aid a few years ago and which he recognised as a vital resource for the village.
Our sympathies are with Jon and Sam and other members of Brian’s family. Brian made a huge contribution to the village over the years and he will be very much missed by all.

I have a bag of used foil (milk bottle tops, trays, wine bottle tops, no cans). I gave it to the RNIB in the past, but don’t know whether there is a charity, with a local base, that still collects foil. Far too little to take it to the scrap merchant!
Before I put it in the recycling bin, has anyone got another, charitable suggestion?

Hello Possums,
Well the first signs of winter have arrived: the tins of Roses and Quality Street chocolates in the stores are piled higher than Simon Cowell’s ego. The DFS sale is getting underway; guaranteed delivery for Xmas. Ho! Ho! Ho! Pay nothing for ten years, then interest free credit forever.
Ghostly whispers are swirling around the ancient twisting cobwebbed nooks and crannies and spiral staircases of ‘Hogwarts’ suggesting that Harry Potter may be mounting his magic broomstick once again to combat the dark forces. His broomstick will now of course be classed as a mobility aid and qualify for tax relief.
The Black Lion pub in Kent has come under fire for displaying a notice to the effect that, to avoid accident or injury to your child, whilst the little angel is rampaging through the pub out of control, a member of staff will be only to pleased to nail the darling little poppet to your table for the duration of your visit. Absolutely outrageous, don’t you think?

Our Weatherman in the Village says:
The average temperatures have dropped considerably in the last week and also similar to last week today (Sunday) looks like being a good day, the rest of the week is looking typically autumnal with bands of rain and wind in prospect.

Last night the ladies of Parwich netball club said a fond farewell to Wendy Birds who has played for the team for almost 40 years. Wendy has played with the likes of Rosie Dunn, Janice Wigley, Pauline Laycock, Karen Wigley, Olivia and Edwina Flower, Deb Ryde, Paula Lynam and the current set of beauties. Wendy has been a versatile and elegant player who has proudly worn the black pleated games skirt with the RBL emblem on it and now the lycra skorts and tight fitting bibs currently sported by the team.Of the current team some were taken under Wendys wing when they made their first appearance aged just 11 yrs old. Now an age limit of 16 applies to play in the leagues but Wendy has held her own on the court with all those who have had the privilege to play with her.Last nights farewell took place at the Red Lion in either Hognaston, Hollington or Kniveton or possibly all of them. Wendy tried several times to retire over the last year but her plea to be released was ignored by Captain Flower. Finally the risk of injury and the call of long weekends with Larry have forced the us to accept that Wendy must move on although she is still able to join us on our nights out when we celebrate winning the league yet again!If anyone is interested in knowing more about Parwich Netball team and its position in the world rankings please get in touch through the blog team. We currently have a vacancy for a good WA!Thanks for everything Wendy and it won’t be the same without you to keep us calm and focused and remind us to watch Newsnight.Nia
