Warm Weather Prognosis from Tom’s & Douglas’s Barns
…And The Possible Way to Ensure the Icy Conditions Disappear Permanently…What is the secret? You’ll have to wait and see how effective it turns out to be…
The icy conditions persist. We have had no snow recently, and none the night before last in spite of warnings and dire predictions of what was to befall. However, [...]
Snowy Update from Tom’s and Douglas’s Barns
…And One Happy Tom’s Barn Dog Guest…Just a quick post after a day of snow. Last winter the snow came with a vengeance at the end of November; this year we have had to wait until early February so it seems more exciting – there isn’t that slight niggling worry that it might be going [...]
A Fantastic Midweek Opportunity
for this coming Monday 6 to Friday 10 February 2012….It will be lovely…Think toboggans, walks in the snow.

Water, Water, Everywhere? Or Just for Elephants?
I was amused to see that the next film to be shown at the Parwich cinema (otherwise known as the Memorial Hall) is ‘Water for Elephants’. There are not too many elephants round here, and not too much water at the moment either. When did it last rain?
It can’t be that long ago, but it [...]
Has SprIng Sprung at Orchard Farm?
Probably not, but it certainly felt like it today.
We have enjoyed the most perfect spring day, with sunshine, blue skies and warmth… The birds have sung their hearts out including this little robin John snapped in the garden this afternoon.
The birds were all singing, the woodpecker tapping and the pheasants screeching; our lanes were bustling [...]
Soothing Mists over Hartington
A warm (warmer, it’s all relative) day so hardly any snow or visible ice about on the roads and paths, although in deep puddles there still can lurk a layer of ice providing a slippery trap for the unwary.
John and I and another group of friends went today to Hartington where most of us embarked [...]
A White Christmas for Tom’s and Douglas’s Barns?
– and a new telly for Douglas’s Barn bedroom – It looks highly likely the snow will stay.
Both lots of Christmas guests have arrived safely, and managed to get their cars up the final slope. The barns are warm and snug as usual, and feeling very Christmassy especially with the snow outside (although there’s [...]
…Sledges, snow shovels, road salt and mince pies
and a vague weather report as we move towards Christmas…Today we bought two new plastic sledges for the use of our guests and/or rather less excitingly for pulling luggage up to the house if that becomes necessary again. Determined not to be caught out next time round we also purchased a new snow shovel [...]
Parwich has NO snow!
The snow has pretty well all disappeared! We have been away for a few days for a family wedding in London, and in spite of genuine determination to write posts from the big city itself our time was so happily busy – more of which later – we never got anywhere near a computer.
Anyway, to [...]
The Sun Keeps Shining over Parwich
…But the snow ain’t meltingThe sun blazes away, day after day, the snow sparkles and the sky is blue but the temperature remains well below zero – one hears of -14′C and even lower at night.
The height of the snow is reducing, but almost imperceptibly. Our guests today managed to leave OK with baby (Douglas’s [...]
