Starring Academy Award Winner Jim Broadbent as Harold and Penelope Wilton as his wife Maureen, and based on the best-selling novel, this beautiful and feel-good film tells the story of a man who leaves his seaside town in South Devon to deliver a message to an old friend. He’s an unremarkable man. Now, well into his 60s, he is content to fade quietly into the background of life. But when Harold learns his friend Queenie is dying, he is moved to act. He leaves home, walking to the post box to send her a letter, until he realises a letter is not enough. In that moment Harold decides to keep walking, all the way to her hospice, some 500 miles away in Berwick-upon-Tweed: as long as he walks, Queenie must live. Surprising himself as much as his wife Maureen, Harold embarks on a walk of hope, determined to travel the length of England to save his friend.
Spectator review **** an incredibly beautiful film to look at…Broadbent is a wonder, so real and sincere it doesn’t feel like acting. Woods and streams and fields and plump blackberries are gorgeously photographed. It makes you long to visit England even though you live here.

Can any birder/twitcher in the village confirm that I could have heard a nightjar(s) near Parwich, approx. a week ago in near-dark.
I once heard a nightjar here several years ago in very early September (migrating south?) with an unmistakably clear and distinctive trill followed by wing-clapping.
This time the ‘song’ was much less distinctive and without the wing-clapping. Are these birds around every late-Spring & Summer and have I simply missed them?

On May the 15th the Parish Council will hold the Parish Annual Meeting at 7:30pm and the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council at 7:45pm. Both in the Memorial Hall.
Residents are invited to attend either of these meetings if they wish.
The Parish Annual Meeting is something which the Council is required to hold, but it is not governed by any set format or regulations. Open discussion, not normally possible in the regular Council meetings, is permitted. But the Council cannot take any decisions in this meeting – other than to place any matters arising on the agenda for a later formal meeting.
Annual Meeting is a formal meeting of the Parish Council held in accordance with the normal rules governing Parish Council meetings. A number of reviews take place which are required annually by the Council’s Standing Orders.
As in previous years the Council will take the opportunity to provide summaries of activities and finances during the past year.
Village organisations have been invited to come and talk about their own past and planned activities if they wish.
If there is anything you would like to see added to this meeting please contact the Clerk to the Council, Andrew Martin, on clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk
Agendas for both meetings will be published later in the week.

I just put a sheep and her two lambs in the goslings field as they ran up the road at the corner.
Not sure whose sheep these are… She has the badger face.

It seems just in the last couple of nights, I’ve had someone poaching around the back garden.
Could I please ask everyone to be vigilant and let’s keep an eye out if they return or are potentially also looking at visiting your home.
Thanks,
Alex S.
