One constant of our 4+ years of being in Overton is our amazing lollipop man.

We wish Keith Vallis all the very best and thank him for his decade's worth of service. Like Keith, our Landlord David also used the efforts of brain injury charity Headway.

Next weekend Keith is walking from Overton on a 60-mile loop to finish at Headway Basingstoke.

Please support Keith and Headway's great work here:
