A lovely drive along the A9 great road lovely views. On arrival lunch then thought I would catch the bus into Stirling (BAD MOVE) wow the single fare here is £3.95 return £5.95 ouch. The bus coming back did not show up so 1hr wait and a single deck bus rammed full to the brim leaving people at stops (bet they were peved off). Will cycle in every day to expensive for me. The fruit is doing well here as usual.
