Our Weatherman says:
No extraordinary weather on the horizon. Probably more of the same, with the dry spell looking like continuing. Temperatures near normal for the time of year, but no hard overnight frosts are forecast yet.

Success of the household recycling collections means that Derbyshire Dales District Council are considering reducing the number of ‘bring’ recycling points. The sites under consideration for closure includes the one at the Sycamore Inn.
A council spokesman says:
Derbyshire Dales can probably now boast the top home recycling figure in the county thanks to local people recycling 8% more than at this time last year. Everything that can be recycled at bring sites can now be recycled at home.
We always anticipated the convenience of the household scheme would impact on our bring sites – that’s why we agreed to annually review the contract with H W Martin. To ensure the contract continues at no cost to Dales Council Tax payers it makes sense to close sites that require long travel distances or currently produce very low recycling yields.
We will of course clean and remove any screening from the sites that are scheduled to close and monitor each site to identify any potential fly-tipping issues.
To find out more go to the Derbyshire Dales District Council’s news update on their website.
What do you think about this in relation to the Parwich ‘bring’ recycling point at the Sycamore Inn? Do you still take any recycling to the containers at the pub? Do complete the poll below and add comments to this post.

Thank you to Mike R for collating this information. Best wishes to Dorothy in her new home from the parwich.org team, she will be much missed in Parwich and the surrounding area.
Dorothy Littlewood, late of Stable Cottage, has now moved to Delph near Oldham to be nearer her daughters. Dorothy came to Parwich about 25 years ago and taught piano lessons to many students in the area. She played the piano at Tissington Nursery for 17 years until her move. She returned to Tissington today to attend the annual Nativity Play and also to receive a retirement gift, a ceramic plate decorated with the inscription “Thank you from Tissington Kindergarten”. Dorothy must be well known to countless children who have attended the Nursery and it was a joy to her today to be greeted so warmly by the children.

Would anyone like some free heating oil? I have sold my oil tank & guesstimate that there are around 10 gallons or so (roughly 45 litres) left in the bottom of the tank.
The buyer is collecting the tank at around 11am on Saturday morning, so it needs to be removed by then. You’ll need to bring an electric pump (I’ll supply the electricity) and some containers.

Hello Possums,
Channel 4’s ‘Time Team’ claim to have located the true site of the Battle of Hastings, which is approximately 600ft from Battle Abbey. There is a cafe, a pub and a betting shop near to the site, which suggests that King Harold’s army had a belly buster fry-up, a few pints and an each-way bet on the outcome of the battle.
A recent survey has revealed that one in six adults still believe in Father Christmas, and even write to him expressing their wish-list. This of course is a nonsense, as nowadays you can e-mail the old boy at santaclaus@northpole.com.

Badminton at Parwich Memorial Hall
Badminton is now up and running on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as Thursday, evenings. Both the Tuesday and Wednesday slots have been filling quickly. However the 6 to 7pm slot on Tuesdays and the 9 to 10pm on all three evenings are still available if anyone wants to play then.
People that have booked regular slots keep your eyes on the Calendar here at parwich.org through December as the Hall is pre-booked for a number of evenings. Assuming no one wants to play at Christmas or on New Year’s Eve, Badminton will only be on the following evenings this month:
- Tuesday 3rd December
- Wednesday 4th December
- Tuesday 17th December
- Wednesday 18th December
- Thursday 19th December
If you are interested in playing but don’t have a prospective partner let Esther T know. To discuss booking a slot or to register an interest in the possible Sunday slots contact Janet G at the pub, tel. 390 212. Also if any one wants to fit in an extra session instead of the cancelled evenings, speak to Janet about what is possible.

In March of this year we undertook a poll of our readers’ views on the planned introduction of part-night street lighting (click here to see the poll results). In May part-night street lighting was implemented in Parwich village. Many of our poll’s recommendations were implemented, but some were not (click here to see what was not implemented).
How have you been effected by part-night street lighting so far? At the time, our Councillor, Simon Spencer, expressed a strong commitment to responding to any changes we felt were needed once we had experience of part-night street lighting. After Christmas, here at parwich.org, we will be offering readers a chance to have their say again. This will include polls on individual lights where our readers’ wishes were previously over ruled, and any other street lights that our readers have subsequently raised.
Let us know, using the comments facility with this post, about any street lights that you want to ask Derbyshire County Council to reconsider (be it part-night lights you feel should be on all night, or all night lights you feel only need to be on part-night) and we will include them in our review.

Can you help the School with their a World War II ‘Evacuation Day’ in January. Were you an evacuee, did your family host evacuees, or are you a Veteran?
Hi Parwich Blog,
I wonder if you can help me find someone to come in and help Parwich School with our latest Topic on World War 2. I am the Key Stage 2 teacher (ages 7-11) and the children have been having lots of fun learning about the last world war. Lots of parents have sent in war relics such as ration books and helmets and we are now planning an Evacuation Day on Tuesday 14th January 2014.
It is going to be a very authentic day with dressing up and rations for lunch (well not too authentic!) It would be wonderful if we could invite someone locally to visit during the day who experienced World War 2, either as an actual evacuee or who was a child in a host family or even a war veteran. The children could interview the guest and then write about their experiences. This would be a fantastic opportunity for the children and I really hope there is someone in the locality who can help!
Please can you ask everyone on the blog if they know anyone?
Thank you so much and looking forward to seeing if we get any responses.
Very best wishes,
Kim Peatfield
KS2 Teacher
Parwich Primary School
This looks like being a fantastic day for the children. If you are able to help either contact the School directly or email parwich@hotmail.co.uk and we will forward your message. Also feel free to share any relevant experiences as a comment below or email them to us to create a separate post.

Thank you to one of our readers for letting us know about this:
Just wanted to inform you of a suspicious incident last night at about 11.00pm.
When letting our dogs out last night, we had 2 men on the footpath by Smithy Close trying to get our dogs by whistling and calling them. When shining our torches onto the footpath they disappeared. Just wanted other people in the village with dogs be on their guard. This is the second time this has happened in as many months. I will be reporting it to the police today.

Thank you to Martin for these photos and links relating to the controversial new wind-farm on Carsington Pastures. Whatever you may think of the merits this development, it certainly photographs well:
Here are some pics of the first wind turbine at Carsington Pastures. The second turbine is probably being erected today.
More details and a map on

and about the local farmer

Note, You can see the turbine from Parwich (as you leave the village to the east past Mooredge, by the junction with Back Lane to Pikehall).
