Paul and Sharon Edwards have created a little bit of magic at Porthleven Post Office. It is a shop for the community in every sense of the word – providing PO services, food and all kinds convenience items.

This is normal for village post offices. Paul and Sharon and their professional staff go the extra mile.

It is a pleasure to be in their shop. To villagers and visitors Paul, Sharon and staff are friendly, helpful, caring and always there with a smile, a kind word or a cheerful repartee!

It has become a meeting place for a morning chat and catch up. I always leave there, every morning, feeling better than when I entered! An asset to Porthleven.

Imagine my concern to come face to face with Elizabeth Smith ranting and raving at Sharon! She appeared in major bullying mode – loud and rude.

Sharon was asking her, very politely, to leave the shop as they had all had enough of her ongoing abuse, when they had bent over backwards to help her with her mobile phone.

It transpires that Elizabeth Smith has already been banned from some shops in the village. Need I say more?

Paul, Sharon, Julia, Julie and the staff have created a special oasis in this lovely village of Porthleven.

Thank you to them all.
