More showery weather on the cards for the next few days (but we still can’t measure how much rain!). Looks like it might get a bit more settled towards the end of the week though. Fingers crossed.

When I read Margaret’s post heading, (Problem Cat) I was worried at first that she was referring to Jim’s black & white cat, Denis (the menace!!)
He is only about 9 months old and Jim rescued him, in Birmingham, about 3 months ago. However, he has ended up adopting me (the cat, that is!) & has taken to going to visit people, looking lost & appealing. (He’s very playful & cheeky.)
Fortunately, he has a collar on, though the name tag is a bit confusing because it still has Jim’s Birmingham address on it, with my phone number, for when Jim brought him over here with him at weekends. In the last 2 weeks he has visited the Old Post Office, the School & Lucy B’s, were he had a great time running around her house, playing!
Anyway, thanks (and apologies!) to everyone that phoned me to let me know where Denis was.
Denis is black, with white paws, mouth, whiskers and bib. (He looks quite like ‘Bob’ Deb’s cat.) If he goes on any more visitations, my number is 01335 390554.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
It can happen to any team, look how Manchester United have slumped! Only one league match this week, thank goodness. Heaven knows what our score would have been if we had to play twice.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league
Away – Buxton Park – 6 May
So you can’t win them all. To say we lost this week would be an injustice to Buxton. It was carnage. Edith and Rick played out of their little skins otherwise I doubt if we would have got to double figures. It really was that bad. Anyway I will not give details of the result as I do not want the information for all to see on Parwich’s worst ever result as it will scar the participants for life. WE ARE NO LONGER TOP OF THE LEAGUE!! We are at home next week. Hopefully we will be better, we certainly can’t do any worse, or can we?
- Next match – Home – Whitworth Park – 13 May – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League
No league match this week instead we played our club Square Robin competition, which is a variation of a Round Robin, but with corners (you will have to work it out for yourselves). Although the weather was unkind to us towards the end of the contest, it was a very good afternoon and two new names will appear on the trophy, Tony A and John B. Next week back to the league.
- Home – Matlock Bath – 15 May – 1.45pm.
On Sunday we are due to play another Club competition, the Open Singles. The fun starts at 2.00pm. Why not come down and join us.
John B.

Does anyone know the owner of a short haired, brown tabby unneutered Tom cat? This cat comes to my house most days and is becoming quite aggressive towards my neutered female cats. My worry is that because he is an unneutered Tom he may be carrying the feline leukaemia virus and/or the feline AIDS virus both of which can be transmitted to cats with whom he has fights or by mating with unneutered female cats. Neither disease has a cure, although cats can be vaccinated to protect them from feline leukaemia.Is this cat causing problems elsewhere in the village?Margaret R

A personal note:
Is anyone else having problems with their e-on electricity bills? I received, this lunchtime, an electric bill for the last quarter, based apparently on actual readings, that amounts to well over twice the normal charges for the full year. This would mean I have increased my consumption some eight fold. This is for a one-roomed cottage, in a very mild winter, when I had been away for nearly four weeks of that time. A near neighbour reports they are currently in dispute with e-on in a similar situation.

Just a reminder that summer session of Pilates for the Over 60’s has started, the next class is Monday 12th May 3-4pm ( as it is lunch club day, normally it is 2.30- 3.30pm every Monday) in the Memorial Hall. The class is run by Sue Purvis ( Pilates Foundation Qualified Teacher), it is chair based, and aims through gentle movements and exercises to improve functional movement, balance and posture. It is also a good chance to have a cup of tea and chat after the class! If you would like to give it a try please ring Sue Purvis on 390373.
It is supported by Parwich Fit 4 All, and is on a pay-as-you-go basis, £6 per session.

Yesterday 25 members of the PDHS visited two inspiring gardens near Northwich in Cheshire.
Thank you Glynis for this report:
The morning was spent at Bluebell Cottage Garden, tucked away over a narrow canal bridge in the heart of the countryside which presented the coach driver with his first challenge of the day. The island beds contained many unusual perennials some of which were available to tempt us in the attached nursery.
We then continued just a few miles down the road to Stonyford Cottage Garden and nursery. Here we enjoyed a tasty lunch, whilst the rain came down. Luckily there was a break in the showers and we could explore the beautiful, tranquil garden set around a series of pools. The candelabra primulas were fantastic.
The next trip is on Wednesday 16th July, combines a visit to Winterbourne Gardens in the morning. This is one of the best surviving examples of an Edwardian Arts and Crafts suburban villa, with a beautiful walled garden, colour themed borders, glasshouses, rock garden and stream side planting. We will then go on to the nearby Birmingham Botanic garden for the afternoon, which contains plants from all corners of the world, arranged in glasshouses, herbaceous borders, rockeries etc, there is something for everyone!
The price (includes coach fare and entry to both gardens):
– members £18. (£16 concessions),
– non members £22 ( £20 concessions)
The coach will leave Parwich at 9.15 am, and return at approx 6 pm. To book a place please contact Glynis on 390561, £5 deposit required, full amount payable by 8 July.

Hello Possums.
Well I must tell you there was a profound atmosphere of gloom and despair at Weedkiller’s main offices earlier in the week, as news of George Clooney’s engagement to some flibberty giblet or other filtered through. Myrtle our long serving tea lady was unconsolable, even at the tender age of 83 she never gave up on her dream that George would one day gallop in on his great white charger and whisk her away. Myrtle has seen ‘Gravity’ 72 times, and on one occasion camped out for three nights outside the Dorchester in London to catch a glimpse of George attending the Cinema and Television Awards, but alas she nodded off, prior to him rolling up in his limo and running the red carpeted gauntlet of screaming fans, and missed him completely. But never say die Myrtle is optimistic that the engagement will only last as long as one of Greg Wallace’s restaurants, and he will soon be back on the market again.
Weedkiller’s Film and Television Reviewer attended the premier of ‘Twelve Years a Slave‘ recently, but reported that it was far too long and drawn out, so as a result left halfway through, after six years.

Our Weatherman-in-the-Village says:
Apologies for the lack of rain data – my rain gauge has given up, and awaits repair.
After a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, the weather looks a little more changeable for the coming working week with more sunshine and showers on the cards. Good growing weather!

Celebrating flower power in the beautiful Dales
Flower power across the beautiful Derbyshire Dales is being celebrated in a free publication.
‘Floral Dales 2014’ is a leaflet produced by Derbyshire Dales District Council, featuring dates and details of local well dressings, open gardens and flower festivals.
The colourful guide is available from visitor information points across the Dales, including Ashbourne, Bakewell, Matlock Peak Rail and Matlock Bath. It is also free to view and download online at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/floraldales
Wirksworth, Monyash and Middleton-by-Youlgrave well dressings usher in the new season on Saturday 24 May – the first of almost 30 well dressings festivals in Derbyshire Dales villages and towns between now and mid-September.
The guide’s ‘Hidden Gems’ section features a list of open garden weekends at private houses that do not normally open to the public, and there’s also a ‘Meet the Experts’ schedule of top gardeners who open their gardens as part of the National Gardens Scheme.
Floral Dales is designed to help local residents and visitors keep track of a multitude of colourful events, including well dressings, which have their origins in the Derbyshire Dales.
