Keith retired as village postman last Saturday 6th January after more than 6 years of delivering the post and so much more for all the villagers in Timberscombe. He will be much missed. Sarah Campbell at the Post Office organised a village collection and then presentation on Saturday which is shown here. Keith has now sent a wonderful thank you and flowers to the village which can be seen in the Post Office. I publish below what Keith wrote in his card of appreciation:
I am overwhelmed! It has been my pleasure to serve the community of Timberscombe and surroiunding area, for over six years. Together we have formed friendships and been there for each other. Through Covid 19 when i was probably the only one to visit your door, and pass on info and assist where I could, to now back to normal. It has been my honour to support this great community and has also been a great deal of fun!
I want to say thank you for your generosity and kindness at this my retiring time. There are individuals who struggle on a daily basis , who still manage a smile, when I call. I will not be a stranger, and pop up to annoy you all, when I can. Tis a good place with great people and we have laughed.
Again Timberscombe, Thank you, Love Keith

On Thursday 4th January the weekly Warm Welcome resumes in St Petrock’s Church between 10am and 12 noon. You are so welcome to come along and join in with a very friendly group and may only stay for a quick cuppa, and a slice of home-made cake, but it will be a pleasure to see you. There are no charges and no agendas, simply a place to be warm, have a chat with others, and enjoy some Timberscombe hospitality! We look forward to seeing you there.
