I’ve just left a message with the main Tata steel construction switchboard. I wanted them to know that I honestly appreciated the considerate driver who waited for me as I cycled up the hill on the A9 out of Golspie to Dunrobin Castle last Friday afternoon. The driver was patient and courteous and returned my wave when he safely passed me at the top of the hill. I hope the message reaches him, it’s nice to be praised.

Unfortunately I am unable to get in touch with the bottle blonde woman driving the Merc. She was so close I thought she was going to scratch my bar end with her car.
