Living at the Post Office

When I was a teenager I lived at the Post Office that is now a hardware shop, at the eastern end of the village. I was in the church choir and in the bell-ringers. Used to ride my bike down to the cricket field to watch the games. My father, Harry Gardner, was the Postmaster and ran the associated grocery store. When the steadily growing chain stores got to out-price him, despite his personal service, delivering groceries when people phoned in their orders, etc. he had to let the business go, and moved to Cornwall. He died in 1980. Friends... Sheila Revell, Leonie (Pixie) Parker (still in touch), John Randall, Freddie Moth, Colin Cripps, Billy Roberts. I was sad to read about Freddie's tragic death in Kenya when I was reading a booklet I got form the church when I last visited.
