As many of you will know, our lovely Dianne is retiring from the Post Office , her last day being this Thursday 3rd Sept .. it’s going to be a very sad day for me personally, after working with her for over 25 years . I know lots of the Post Office customers will miss her greatly too.
This means the Post Office hours will be changing from Monday 7th September 2026
I realise that this will affect some of our much valued customers, but believe me, I’ve thought long and hard , to decide what hours I can manage on my own, and be able to sustain going forward ..
I really hope that most of you will still manage to pop in to do your business, during the hours I’ll be open .. I’d really appreciate your continued support- this is not going to be easy for me, on many levels .. and I really want the PO to be the best it can be, under the new circumstances.
