We've made it to British summer time and that means weddings. Plenty of you have booked me for the lunchtime slots, looking your splendid best followed by the return journey later that night when you tend to look and sound completely different π
Hopefully the good weather continues? make the most of the great outdoors, and all this gorgeous area has to offer. Whether you're going to a golf club for the day, catching up with friends outside a cafe for a bit of lunch or a trip to the beach for a coastal walk and then followed by a nice cold pint outside a pub, give me a call if you need assistance π
Just wanted to touch on the positives and the negatives that Kingsbridge and the villages around us are going through. I'm witnessing firsthand how big a change the area is going through with regards to businesses like pubs, restaurants and obviously the High Street. I would encourage all my customers to check with any business at the moment the opening hours and availability π Things are a bit tough everywhere.
On a positive note it's been wonderful to see the increasing amount of businesses and sole traders that are opening up courtesy of working from home, whether it's in a small office, bedroom, garden shed, or garage attached to the house. I've been amazed at how many hairdressers, dog groomers accountants etc, amongst others that are able to run a business from home, obviously if you need a taxi to get to any of these locations just give me a call π
Easter week obviously showed us how the traffic system around Kingsbridge was not working and thankfully to all those involved who came up with the plan of creating the one-way system, this has definitely allowed traffic to move around the town most days slow and steady.
For myself as a business the Easter week showed that it was quicker to drive from Kingsbridge to Totnes station then it was to drive from Kingsbridge Crabshell to Tesco's in Kingsbridge and obviously that's not good for business when you can only complete a mile in 25 minutes!! We'll certainly need a little bit more patience over the next 3 months with Kingsbridge getting busier through tourism.
Whatever you need a taxi for, or any questions you have, give me a ring or text me on the number above.
