Occupational hazard!

I must have delivered a squillion leaflets to every house in our village - and beyond - over the years… and been barked at, chased and even bitten many times.

As well as delivering our village magazine, residents’ association membership forms, community centre flyers, takeaway menus and Christian Aid envelopes (but the less said about the one returned filled with screws the better!), my daughter even had a job working for a leaflet delivery company one summer and no prizes for guessing who ended up doing that! I don’t mind, though, as it’s good exercise and, I have to admit, it’s interesting having a close-up nose at all the houses!

Every year I also help deliver our Village Fayre programmes. There wasn’t one last year, of course, but it’s all set to go ahead next week so my son and I did our impersonations of Postman Pat this afternoon, thankfully without any injuries!
