Yoxford Post Office - Changes Ahead
UPDATE
The shop re-opens a week on Monday, 1st November.
There will be an enormous cheese cabinet, so we will be able to offer not only the 80-0dd cow, sheep and goat cheeses that have made us famous, but much more besides. A roof, for a start. No getting rained on in car-parks. And that’s just the customers.
The shop will carry-on providing coffee ground to order but even better, you’ll be able to get proper fresh cappuchino and espresso as well, just as soon as the machine arrives. The shop has always sold leaf tea and that will continue with some new additions and teapots to drink it out of.
We’re applying for a drinks licence so that you can enjoy a glass of wine with your cheese and it should also make the Christmas post run a bit more tolerable.
Anne Kennedy is off on her training course to become Post Mistress tomorrow, so she should be taking control of the Big Book of Stamps on 16th November.
Yoxford - The Heart of the Garden of Suffolk
The map shows exactly where the Post Office is in Yoxford. It’s a big, double-fronted shop dating back to at least 1847, when the Post Office opened and probably the building is at least another hundred years older than that. The Post Office is at the back of the building. At the front you’ll find the cheese room on the right, the bread and cake area and the coffee and tea mixing area on the left and the cafe area in the middle.
So, not just somewhere to buy stamps but a place to go and chat, eat cheese, drink some wine, meet your neighbours and catch-up with what’s going on.
Some rural communities are suffering. This one looks pretty good.
The view from the door
Fantastic can’t wait to visit for cheese, coffee and chat.
Great news from you. See you there
It”ll be good to see you there- we’ve been briefed on which is your favourite coffee!
I have nothing but admiration for those who really do work to sustain local communities. Good luck to Carl and Anne with their enterprise
oh that is SO fantastic Carl! So pleased for you..
