The Village post office will close today, and a steady stream of Trelawnyd folk have called in to wish Jenny the postmistress "Pob Hwyl" or as the Welsh would put it " all the best"
I cut her some flowers from the garden and called in to give her my best wishes when I was off walking the dogs
.the above photograph is of Jenny and one of her oldest customers Mrs Hughes
What a shame. xx
ReplyDeleteCentralizing there too! Tsk, tsk!
ReplyDeleteAn "empty shop" is a bit of an opportunity for motivated members of the community, don't you think? ...food for thought!

I am sure things will be strange for a while, not having that little jaunt to the PO and conversation.
ReplyDeleteBummer.

ReplyDelete>What's it like living in a Soap Opera?
You don't post very often, but when you do, you make me laugh.
Trelawnyd appears to me to be a charming blend of Twin Peaks and Brookside. And for US readers who never experienced the latter, just think of a Liverpudlian (and slightly more working class) version of As The World Turns.
Well, that's my twisted vision anyhow, and I'm sticking to it.
Closing for good ?
ReplyDeleteAwww.
I used to love going to the village post office, just so long as you read the hours of business sign posted on the door, because they were usually always closed having their dinners !
Such a lovely sweet-looking lady.
Pob dymunaid da !
Thanks for the ghost hens vid. It's nice to see them enjoying field life.
ReplyDeleteSo do you have to trek to the next town to buy a stamp now? So many small businesses are closing that small towns are losing their some of their charm. Very depressing.
"See ya later, mate!" to Jenny from all of us Aussies!
