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.
