We are thinking of You Caroline. Stay safe we will all keep supporting your wonderful business. Abbey Foregate has a wonderful community of people who I know will all be thinking of you.
I can not believe I am writing these words, but I have a brain tumour.
I have now been to Stoke and seen the specialist neurosurgeon.
I am booked to have the tumour removed on 8th October and have a few more tests and appointments over the coming weeks.
This is obviously life changing and my family and I are still trying to process what this means and navigate our way forward. For now I am at home, keeping myself safe and quiet ahead of surgery. I am incredibly grateful for all the love and support, but for the moment I am not up to visitors just knowing you are thinking of me is more than enough.
The Post Office will continue
We will REOPEN on Monday 28th September from 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday.
For now I will be stepping away from the counter and Neil and Katie will be taking over the day to day running of things.
Please remember, first and foremost, Neil and Katie are my brother and my daughter and they are trying to come to terms with all of this too. They will inevitably do things differently to me but they will be doing their very best, so please bear with them while we all adjust.
I have no idea what the next few months are going to look like, but for now, if I can ask one thing of you, it’s to keep using us and keep supporting us. My Post Office and shop are my only livelihood and I have to keep them going.
I have never needed your business more than I do now.
