Here on Skye I do more than deliver letters and parcels. There aren't any buses or trains on this part of island, so the post office also runs passenger service. The bus which I drive has eleven seats, so people from the farms and villages can get into Broadford for shopping or for work. I live in Elgol, a small village on the south west coast of the island. I leave Elgol post office every morning at 8 a.m and drive my bus 24 km to Broadford. I stop for passengers and empty the five post boxes along the road. I also pick up the school children that live along my route and take them to the school in Broadford. There's a school for young children in Elgol, but the older children have to travel into the town. It usually takes me about three hours to finish my round. I take shopping to some of the elderly people who can't always get to Broadford. I deliver milk and newspapers six days a week. I shouldn't deliver animals but sometimes take a puppy or a rabbit as a passenger. The Post Office charges people, of course, for all these extra services. It's 70 $ to travel from Elgol to Broadford and it costs $ 10 to deliver a pint of milk. People often ask me how I like living here on Skye, especially since I come from the city. Well, it's difficult to explain, but here I feel part of the community; it's good to know that you are helping people. I'd hate to live in the city again.
