I used to spend half my life sitting shivering by the side of the bike practice trail armed with a packet of plasters and a bottle of water for my thirsty little mountain biker to finish leaping about on his bike. Homework and rugby drew us away from it and it was brilliant to see how much has changed and grown up around that bike trail and hostel.
The most lovely thing about being a small business is connecting in with all the clever people with brilliant ideas who live and work near me. I met Lucy from who has a gorgeous retreat dome up in the hills above Crieff, she met Helen Helen and now they’re having a firewalk on 19th November! 🔥
Ange Baker | Social Media Coach & Manager spoke to me about how she can help me, I got to hear about how Tomnah'a Team and Nowhere Sauna work alongside the croft. Also caught up with in the shop where I bought a proper hot chocolate from Glen Lyon Coffee Roasters and John Castley cinnamon bun.
As poor quality products in supermarkets become increasingly expensive and homogenous, high streets like Crieff, Comrie and Dunkeld and gorgeous farm shops like this one at Comrie Croft are a much better, more interesting and friendly place to buy the things I need. Talking of which - off to get my young man a little something from Comrie Croft Bikes for his stocking after seeing he’s dusted off his his bike and put roof bars on his car 🚵
