Our Weatherman in the Village says:
Even more rain recorded than last week, but hopefully this week will be a little less stormy. Still unsettled with low pressure systems running through, but it looks like the storms will be a little less intense. Some dry days possible during the coming week. Phew!

Watch out on the roads this evening.
I have just come back from Ashbourne (6.30pm) on the B5056, and there are a few branches on the road. It is perfectly passable, as long as you take care.

Hello Possums
Ever thought that the Great Casino of Life had dealt you a lousy hand? Well, spare a thought for these unfortunate blighters who suffer great hardships on a daily basis in the forage for a crumb of sustenance. No it’s not the workhouse of old, it’s not a soup kitchen for the destitute, it’s the House of Lords: recently under fire for the poor service and catering in its £1.3 million taxpayer subsidized restaurants. One disgruntled Lord was forced to endure a 15 minute wait for a table, which did not allow enough time for the excellent sweet trolley. … … … Brief respite, whilst you dab the tears away. … … … On another occasion, a Peer and his wife had their booking cancelled and could not dine elsewhere as she was wearing a tiara. These chappies have to scrape through on an abysmal £300.00 per day attendance allowance, and are forced
to endure seared scallops, Beluga caviar and risotto simmered in champagne. So count your blessings.
An outlet in central London is pioneering the use of camel milk in certain beverages. With a taste similar to semi-skimmed cows’ milk, but with half the fat and three times as much vitamin C, the
camels’ milk is offering a much healthier option. If this initiative proves successful, the milk will be produced by dromedairies nationwide.

Somewhat belatedly here is an update on the situation re. the ‘bring’ recycling point at the Sycamore Inn. The general recycling here has now been removed.
Following a reader request we ran an on-line poll here at parwich.org on this ‘bring’ recycling point, to which some 78 individuals responded, with a large minority (45%) in favour of retaining some form of central recycling point in Parwich (click here to see our report in pdf format). This report was sent to the Parish Council, who were supportive of the need to retain some form of central recycling point in Parwich (click here to see their response posted here at parwich.org).
We also forwarded it to our District Council, Sir Richard FitzHerbert, along with a request for further discussion of what action could be taken to enable some central recycling to continue in Parwich. He passed the information on to Heidi McDougall (Head of Environmental Services) asking her to respond on his behalf. She has sent a full email (the text of her response is reproduced at the end of this post), explaining reasons why it would not be possible to retain the then existing service at the Sycamore. The District Council is strongly stating that any problems residents have must be dealt with on a house by house basis. Residents can contact the waste helpline on 01629 761122 to discuss their own particular situation.

The review of part-night street lighting in Parwich by parwich.org is ending shortly. So if you have not had your say vote now by clicking on this link.
So far, despite the strong views last spring, there is no consensus on individual street lights with only small numbers voting, however on the overall poll there has been 39 votes with strong support for the idea of part night lighting (77%), with making all lights part night the most popular option (31%). Do continue to vote!

Parwich Primary School website is looking very impressive at present. It also has a lot of new photographs. The School Newsletter has fewer photographs, as children and their families can now see them on the website. Click on the images below for more photographs of recent School events on their website:

The total cost is in the region of £2500, and the Community Heartbeat Trust would give us £500 towards it. We have also put in for an Awards for All grant.
