Our “Weatherman in the Village” says:
Poor forecast last week – we didn’t really experience the calm conditions predicted early in the week, although it was a bit drier on Monday with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday being quite wet. Changeable conditions dominated the whole week. I recorded the first air frost of the autumn on the morning of Sunday 14th, with a recorded low of -0.4 degrees C at 8am.
The good weather we have experienced this weekend doesn’t look like it will continue into the week, as it looks like being generally pretty changeable throughout. On Monday we will probably see a return of wet conditions. Temperatures are forecast to be generally mild, with no overnight frosts.

I am interested to know other peoples experience with their LPG pricing. Having experienced a couple of very sharp price rises this year, I am hoping other LPG users might arm me with comparative prices to be able to negotiate with suppliers.
In April this year we were paying 40p per litre which was then dramatically increased to 47p, and from 1st November is increasing to 51.38p – an eye watering 28% increase over what we were paying early in the year!
We have the Flogas top-up service, and it’s reasonably reliable, although we have on the odd occasion run out in peak times which can be pretty uncomfortable.
Any experiences you would like to share?
Thanks
Graham J.

A friend of mine has a rather hair-raising hobby – his idea of a weekend jaunt is to take his microlight for a spin. A couple of weekends ago Howard decided that he was going to take off from Leicestershire and head north-west to take a look at the beautiful village of Parwich (as I keep telling him about it!). Ace photographer Mark was also on board and was able to take some interesting snaps from above. I thought you might be interested to see them…

Our “Weatherman in the Village” says:
A pretty tight forecast last week: high pressure did indeed dominate early in the week, giving still, calm conditions with cool nights and early mornings. The weather did break on Thursday as predicted, with a return of rain.
A very similar week in prospect, with some reasonable days early in the week (most likely Monday and Tuesday), but with Atlantic fronts moving through and bringing some rain and wind from Wednesday onwards. It’s looking like a bit of a wet end to this week.
Incidentally, I recorded the first air frost of the autumn this morning (Sunday 14th), with a recorded low of -0.4 degrees C at 8am.

Broadband speeds seem to have become remarkably variable in the village, those of us using AOL on WiFi perhaps currently feeling the most frustrated. However everyone please don’t forget to register for better Broadband with Digital Derbyshire to help push improvements through.
To find out more go to the County Council website or click here to read our previous post on this.

Waitrose in Ashbourne have generously donated £527 to Parwich First Responders as a result of their green token collection where shoppers can indicate which charity they would like to receive help that month. PFR are extremely grateful for this support and would like to thank both the store and all those shoppers who “voted” for us. The money will help us with on-going training expenses and the purchase of new equipment.

10-20am Have just phoned the Council on their waste hotline (tel 01629 761122) to confirm that the general household waste collection is going ahead today. Took about 8 min to get through, but I guess that is not bad given the change over will be at its height. Cheryl and Patti and others will be calling about their missing blue bins.
They have confirmed that our black (or are they grey) general household waste bins should be collected today as normal on the old rota. They can’t confirm what time other than by 4pm. So leave your bins out.
Good luck dealing with the rubbish rainbow.
Peter
Added 12am: the bins around the Green and in Church Walk have now been emptied.
