It was a great day at the village show, with a good range of entries in the adult classes. Some fierce competition especially in the best and longest runner beans, some beautiful entries in the craft and floral displays and excellent baking! Congratulations to all the winners.
Our thanks to our local guest judges, to our friends for helping out, to the committee for organising and most of all to the growers, crafters, bakers and photographers in the village for all their inspiring entries.
Thanks Nina

Toy Story VI – The Bowls Club 2024 Season
The 2024 Crown Green Bowling season has ended, woods will have been placed under stairs throughout the Parish and we’ve put the JACK IN THE BOX safely in the pavilion. For a so-called summer sport we have played in sunshine; we have played in drizzle; we have played in downpours; and we have played in hailstorms like glass MARBLES. Throughout the season though the Parwich green stood up to everything the elements threw at it, and commendations must go to John H and his array of MECCANO for his hard work in keeping it in pristine order.
The Thursday League has once again shown Parwich as a YO-YO club alternating promotion and relegation between the two divisions. Sadly the euphoria of last year was reversed with us going down like DOMINOES and being rooted to the bottom of Division one and therefore taking the drop. Ah well, no team can have the MONOPOLY on staying up. No doubt next year we will aspire to POGO back up again.
The Tuesday League saw us finish mid-table after a very good first half of what became a SEE-SAW of a season, winning ten and losing eight matches, jumping through HOOPS to capture glory, alas it was not to be; a ROCKING HORSE as they say, keeps moving but makes no progress. Eventual League winners Youlgrave and runners-up Chatsworth showed the resolve of TIN SOLDIERS in their bids to not “LEGO” of their lofty positions (sorry about that one.)
There were some epic battles and much excitement in the final few games; the narrowest of defeats at home to both Matlock Bath and Wirksworth were avenged by a great victory at Bakewell, with all the twists and turns of a RUBIK’S CUBE in front of their DOLLS HOUSE of a pavilion (following an initial postponement in which the surface resembled more PLAY-DOH than greensward.) In the final game at Chatsworth the action unravelled with the whirring velocity of a SPINNING TOP, though we came up short by just a mere few points as the match went with a SCRABBLE seemingly long after darkness began to fall.
The campaign then wrapped up with two Club competitions, all had good fun, two sets of winners and no-one threw their TOYS out of the pram! Congratulations to Keith and Tony then Frances and Rick respectively. We’ll all be SKIPPING to The Sycamore for our end of season lunch where your gleaming trophies will be awarded and we can all go CONKERS!
In conclusion then certainly not a TRIVIAL PURSUIT, a lot of fun, a few highs, some lows which we’ve taken on the chin, and what we’ve lost on the SWINGS we made up for on the ROUNDABOUTS.
THAT’S ALL FOLKS…..see you next year.

Thank you to all who bought plants over the bank holiday weekend. In total, including a donation, £130 was raised for St. Peter’s Church.
Once all the cash has been received, the money will be transferred to the Church, without any reservation, but in the hope that if the suggestion to situate a composting toilet in the church yard takes off that this can be used to support that project.

Church Farm, Creamery Lane
Bank Holiday – Monday 26th August – all day
Thank you to all who have bought plants or pots so far. There are several bonsai pots, some house plants (begonias and aspidistra), herbaceous plants (including irises and day lilies), pond marginals (corkscrew rush), two blueberry plants in need of nurturing, a dwarf laurel and two trees (a willow and a yew). As the weekend has progressed prices are dropping.
A few more sales and we should top a hundred pounds for St Peter’s Church.

Another potential restoration project. Large child / small adult rocking chair for sale.
£10 from 8 Sycamore Cottages 01335 390454/ 07714171411
Just throwing it out there, I do have a “witch” dolls house, plus contents included totalling £150 over the years but due to damage and need for tender loving care, happy to let it go for £30. BUT it is not for children as lead paint has been used in the past so it could be something our artists work on and resale themselves.
If you email me, I’ll email a photo. Quite large so you’ll need a car to collect.

The Last Travelling Shop
Over the years lots of different businesses have brought their wares to sell in Parwich. There were still three regular vans when I moved here getting on for thirty years ago. The last remaining is R G Morris and Sons, wholesale fishmongers from Buxton. Their van stocked with fish, shellfish and an increasing range of other items came on Friday’s.
However they too are moving into the digital age of online ordering and deliveries. They are expanding the counter sales to the public and opening a restaurant in Buxton, but their regular fish van’s last visit will be on Friday 23rd of this month. People can still order for home delivery on Tuesdays to Fridays (www.gofish.co.uk), but I will miss going out each week and picking from the back of van what looked good or took my fancy.
