A VILLAGE turned out to say goodbye to a postmaster who has been behind the counter since he was a teenager. Rowland Hunt’s family took over Bodenham post office and shop in 1965, playing a vital part in village life for decades. But the now 66-year-old has now sold his last stamp after deciding it was time to retire and spend more time with his grandchildren. But Bodenham was not about to let its much-loved postmaster go quietly, with an outdoor send-off planned to greet him as he locked the door for the final time at 5.30pm on Tuesday, April 20.
Part of the family business was a milk round, which operated until last month.

Every day has been as busy as normal Christmas and this Christmas was twice as busy as normal. People wanted to stay local. They were doing a lot more online shopping and people have been sending parcels to family and friends that they can’t meet. Lots of people have been sending Easter eggs and Easter gifts recently. Lots of people are doing their banking here too.
