I AM so amazed and so grateful that a resident penned a poem for us (Enham Village Stores and Post Office).

She said people were walking into town, in the snow, to the big Tesco and she questioned why (especially as we had milk and they didn’t).

Anyway it says exactly who we are, what we do and I would like to share it.

To help, during the recent bad weather, we did deliveries including fresh fish ‘n’ chips, checked paths were clear and checked grit bins were full and replenished.

Some residents checked on the elderly and vulnerable. A good community exists here – so many lovely residents.

Local suppliers kept us stocked. We always support local businesses and producers.
