Update – necktie found
Could all the lovely dog walkers out there keep their eyes peeled for my cat’s (Bob) red spotty collar necker that I made him?
It has gone missing, probably stuck in a hedge somewhere…
Thanks!

On inspecting the data for last week, it seems I might have a problem with the rainfall recording, so please treat rainfall data with suspicion. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to check it next weekend or over Easter.
The week ahead looks better after Monday which looks to be a bit wet (although you might not know how wet based on the above!!).

Dog-walkers asked to keep pets on leads in countryside
Peak District dog-walkers are asked to keep their pets on short leads to protect young farm animals and wildlife during the breeding season of spring and early summer.
Most responsible dog-owners would be horrified if their pets injured newborn lambs or chicks but farmers have already reported such incidents in the Peak District National Park over the past few weeks. Declining birds such as lapwing, curlew and snipe which nest on the ground are particularly vulnerable to harm from dogs roaming free or on long leads.
Tara Challoner, Peak District Wader Recovery Project officer said:
You may not always be aware that birds are present which can easily lead you into thinking that the moors and fields are great empty places, perfect for letting your dog have a good run around. However many of these birds are in very serious trouble and we need to do all we can to ensure that they are not lost from our countryside forever.

Hello possums,
Prince Charles was given a gentle reminder of his German ancestry when he was presented with a giant pretzel by Petra Braun, a baker from Stuttgart. Mrs Braun opened her ‘Hanzel & Gretel’ bakery in London 10 years ago, and was delighted to see the Prince. Weedkiller’s Raving Reporter, Jack Boot, overheardPrince Charles, whilst on his tour of the bakery, say that “One is rather partial to a bit of crumpet One’s self“. “Vot is dis crumpet your highness?” asked a bemused Mrs Braun. Whereupon a voice from the entourage shouted “Don’t tell her pikelet“.
A ground breaking Channel 4 programme is highlighting the attempts of scientists to sequence the DNA of historical figures to discover their causes of death. They have successfully reached the conclusion that the singer Elvis Presley suffered from Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, an extremely rare degenerative heart disease. Their findings also confirmed the fact that as he always contested he did not have a wooden heart after all.

Last week was definitely on the cool side as predicted, but we were rewarded with a lovely weekend, with temperatures nudging 17c. The week ahead looks better once Tuesday is out of the way.

This week the Parish Council purchased and installed two new toddler cradle seats for the swings at the playground as part of an on-going improvement plan. Last year the roundabout was refurbished with help from volunteers.

How does the planning enforcement process work in the Peak District National Park?
National park planners have issued the Peak District Local Enforcement Plan to help people understand what to do if they receive a notice that their building work or change of use breaks planning controls, or if they want to report a suspected breach.
Andrew Cook, Monitoring and Enforcement Manager, explained: “The threat of enforcement action can be distressing, especially when it relates to your home or business, and the process can be difficult to understand, so we hope that the Local Enforcement Plan will help to make things clearer for those involved.
“It’s important to realise that the vast majority of planning breaches are relatively minor and resolved without formal action being taken, although we will take firm action when it is warranted.
“If you are planning to carry out building works or other developments we’d encourage you to work with our planners to prevent problems happening in the first place. But if problems do occur we are always willing to talk to you to try to reach a resolution.”
The document explains what a breach of planning control is, how to report a suspected breach, the investigation process, criteria used to prioritise cases, in what circumstances the Authority takes action, and what powers it has.
The Peak District Local Enforcement Plan is available online at http://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/planningenforcement or paper copies are available free – call 01629 816200.
As well as investigating and seeking to resolve planning breaches, monitoring and enforcement officers selectively check sites where planning permission has been granted to see if they comply with the approved plans and conditions.

Hello Possums,
Now then, following the appointment of a Norland trained Spanish nannie for the Royal Baby, Weedkiller Weekly executives, not to be outdone, shall be conducting their own training programme for potential nannies aimed at the extremely lucrative ‘rich & famous‘ market. There will be none of the Mary Poppins or Nannie McFee nonsense. Courses will be held at Parwich Legion, encompassing skills such as: how to use an Aga, high speed evasive driving techniques, selfdefense, how to whip up an apple crumble, how to steer a pram away from potential highjackers, hosting kiddies parties and pretending to like corgies and Fergie. This course is aimed at providing all the requirements you will need for this highly demanding profession. To secure your place please forward a cheque for £250.00 made payable to Weedkiller Professional Training Services.
The end could be in sight for that great British institution, the Television Licence. Apparently the dodgers, who are too numerous to mention, cannot afford the £145.50 annual fee. Of course they still watch on their giant cinematic 3D sets, whilst trying to budget their meagre benefits sitting in their woefully inadequate tax payer funded houses with their delightful broods. I trust that Auntie will reimburse all of us law abiding citizens the full amount that we have spent over the years. One person actually pleaded immunity from purchasing said licence as he had stolen his set.
