Busy But Rewarding Day Supporting Poppy Scotland and Serving the Borders


As the Poppy Scotland representative for Earlston, it’s been a busy but fulfilling day! I’ve been out delivering poppies and collection tins to local schools and businesses around Earlston (TD4 6ET) — all while managing three booked locksmith appointments and one emergency call-out.


Supporting the Poppy Appeal and Our Veterans


This time of year can be particularly emotional for those who serve and have served in the Armed Forces.


As a Veteran with 24 years of service in the Royal Engineers, I understand how challenging it can be. If anyone in the Scottish Borders community ever needs a chat or just someone to listen, please don’t hesitate to reach out — I’m always here to talk.


Locksmith Work Across the Borders


Alongside my Poppy Appeal duties, I’ve been out on locksmith jobs this week in:


  • Lauder

  • Norham

  • Branxton

  • Earlston


I’ve got plenty of availability next week and beyond, so if you need a trusted locksmith, I’d be happy to help.
