Your letters: Thumbs up for postie

Thumbs up to Rima, the sole “postie” in Te Kūiti.

No matter how cold or wet the weather is, or the steepness of the hills, she is always out there doing an excellent job delivering the mail with a smile and a big wave. Awesome!

We have one “postie” in town who covers the whole district, delivering mail six days a week and she deserves recognition for her effort.
