40°C Expected – Post Office Open Today – Closed Friday

The Post Office will be open this morning (Tuesday) until 12 noon at the Comrades Hall. It will be closed on Friday, 22nd as post master, Peter has contracted Covid.  We very much appreciate the services they provide and wish Peter a speedy recovery.

Until this week, the highest temperature in the UK recorded was 38.7°C, in Cambridge in July 2019.

A high of 38.1°C was recorded in Suffolk yesterday.  The U.K. is bracing itself for higher temperatures today.  To keep cool and avoid heat exhaustion and/or heatstroke, please read the following advice:

  • Drink water.
  • Eat foods with a high water content
  • Wear loose clothing, breathable fabrics
  • Wear a hat
  • Stay in the shade where possible.
  • Limit your travel & exercise
  • Use fans, ice packs to cool down.
  • Take lukewarm, not cold showers.
  • Put nightwear in the fridge

The NHS recommends keeping all babies under six months out of direct sunlight, and older infants should be kept out of the sun as much as possible, particularly between 11:00hrs and 15:00hrs.
They should be kept in the shade or under a sunshade if they’re in a buggy or pushchair.

Thank You From Zoe Raymond

You may remember 11yr old Zoe Raymond from Blackdown putting out a request at the end of September for your used stamps in memory of her Grandad Lloyd Curtis (You can read the original post HERE).

A happy Zoe delivered her first donation to Weldmar Hospice yesterday.

The total weight of the used stamps collected was 72 oz (just over 2 kg) which converted into a £40 donation to the Weldmar Hospice.

Zoe continues to collect used stamps for her second donation. If you have any stamps (please leave at least 1cm of envelope around the stamp) please contact Zoe and her Mum, Sonia on 01460 30471 who will arrange their collection.

Thank you again for your support & well done Zoe!

Donation To Post Office Users Group

Jacqui Sewell has donated a Buffalo Boiling Water Dispenser to the Post Office Users Group at Broadwindsor’s Comrades Hall.  This will save the volunteers repeatedly boiling kettles.

Before the pandemic, the Group offered regular teas and coffees when the Outreach Post Office services were there Tuesday and Friday mornings.  Jacqui Sewell will be offering drinks when she is there next Tuesday, 19th October.

Photographed with Jacqui are Val & Colin Lawrence from Burstock who timed it right this morning to test it out and to enjoy a cuppa and a chat.
