Our
Local
Postman
Keith,
our
Village
Postman,
has
indicated
he
will
be
retiring
in
September
(again).
He
will
be
sadly
missed.
Although
he
loves
his
job
is
totally
disillusioned
with
the
management
of
the
Royal
Mail
and
fears
for
its
future.
It
is
hoped
to
mark
in
some
way
his
contribution
to
the
Village
for
over
30
years.
Apparently
he
will
be
replaced
by
a
Rota
of
4
different
postmen
(or
ladies)
who
will
not
has
the
depth
of
local
knowledge
or
commitment
that
he
has.
More
information
will
be
posted
shortly.

The
Royal
Mail
The
Royal
Mail
appears
to
be
in
a
complete
shambles
to
mention
just
a
few
:
*
Late
unreliable
local
deliveries
*
Closing
down
many
valuable
local
post
offices
that
could
have
been
used
as
distribution
centres
allowing
the
plethora
of
deliveries
we
see
today.
*
The
disgraceful
persecution
of
local
sub
post
masters
and
Mistresses
which
has
still
not
been
fully
resolved.

Duck
Food
Signs
in
the
pond
highlight
the
importance
of
feeding
the
ducks
with
grain.
Bread
pollutes
the
pond
water
and
is
not
good
for
ducks.
Healthier
Grain
food
is
available
from

Peppertree
florist
