View towards Fownhope village A postie is having a quiet skive here hidden from the road and village by the sports centre. When I say quiet skive I mean carefully planning out his itinerary, re-prioritising his morning, taking a well earned allocated break, responding to customer needs, communicating with colleagues on a matter of urgency etc.
