Gearing up for shared transport
Feb 15th, 2008 by Jenny
For those watching their carbon emissions or their cash, and also for those who like a glass of wine or two at a wedding, sharing cars or even coaches seems a brilliant idea. We put a tick-box on our online wedding invitations for people to register their interest in shared transport, and one of my jobs now that all the replies are in is to match up all the people who live in similar places and organise minibuses to go and round them up.
It’s working out pretty cheap if the quotes I’ve had from minibus companies are anything to go by, and will mean fewer people have to drive. But I do now wish I’d asked people to name the town they’d be coming from when they signed up for shared transport! It would have saved us emailing them all to find out who wants to be picked up where.
Meanwhile, I’m proud to say my free-range hen party last weekend (which I’ve been posting about for a month or two now) was a fantastic success! Ethiopian food and jewellery-making both proved a hit with everybody. I will try to get a photo for the blog soon, but meanwhile if you want to see where we had our hen feast, here’s a link to Tutu’s Ethiopian Table at the Global Cafe, RISC, Reading: http://www.tutus-ethiopian-table.com/
