Hello possums.
Well, Parwich gourmets rejoice: going on sale soon is the world’s poshest fish pie, containing Scottish wild salmon poached in Moet Chandon, Loch Fyne oysters, lobster tails and Perigourdine truffles, topped off with a 24 carat gold crumb. A garnish of the finest beluga caviar, nestling on mother of pearl spoons, finishes off this superlative dish. You and your beloved can don your nose bags for the princely sum of £314.16, excluding chips and mushy peas of course.
An Australian rancher has appeared in court, accused of cruelty, after he rode into town on the back of an emu. In mitigation he said “Of course I wouldn’t normally roid an emu your worships, but ya see me joey was bloody well crook at the toime“.
Stringent reforms proposed by ‘The British Boxing Board Of Control’ have been strongly objected to, and have resulted in complaints to ‘The European Court Of Human Rights and Lefts’.

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.
