I have driven by here so many times and have never seen it, been too busy watching the road!
En route home from Sky I had intended calling in at to visit my cousin in Fort William, but she was out for a coffee with a friend.....in Crafts & Things!
I will NEVER drive by again! That is a promise!....xxx

Hallo,

ich kenne David zwar nicht persönlich und war auch niemals in seinem Shop, doch ich möchte an dieser Stelle von seiner unglaublichen Großzügigkeit berichten.

Um das Buch an dem ich geschrieben habe fertigzustellen, benötigte ich eine besondere Zutat, etwas Erde aus Glencoe. Doch, wie bekommen? Einige hundert Euro für Flug und Mietwagen auszugeben war mir zu teuer, also kam mir eine Idee. Warum nicht jemanden suchen der vor Ort lebt?

Also habe ich das Internet durchforstet und bin auf David´s Craft Shop gestoßen. Kurz entschlossen und mit wenig Hoffnung auf auf Erfolg, im Hinterkopf immer die Befürchtung einen Lachkrampf auszulösen, schrieb ich kurzentschlossen eine Mail. Armer David, ich bat ihn nicht nur um einen Gefallen, sondern mutete ihm auch noch mein bescheidenes Englisch zu.

Nur wenige Stunden später, ich konnte es kaum glauben, las ich beim durchsehen meiner Mails seinen Namen. Nun ja, ich dachte an eine höfliche Absage. Aber nein, David bot mir tatsächlich an die Erde für mich besorgen zu wollen und das auch noch kostenlos, er verlangte nicht einmal das Porto, obwohl ich ihm das mehrere Male angeboten hatte. Danke nochmals für deine Hilfe David!

Ich kann mich der allgemeinen Beurteilung in diesem Gästebuch nur anschließen, David´s Großzügigkeit, sowie seine offene Art sind einzigartig. Er wird sicherlich jedem seine Hilfe anbieten der diese braucht. Und sollte ich wieder einmal in Glencoe sein, so werde ich mich garantiert persönlich bei ihm bedanken.

Dear Mr Cooper

Dear Mr Cooper

On Monday the 19th of October my wife and i were on our way back home to Edinburgh after spending the weekend at the Glenfinnen House Hotel for our wedding anniversary. At around 10.20am we were involved in an car crash about 3 miles south of Fort William, after spending a few hours at the scene the policewoman dealing with us gave us a lift back to Glencoe so we could wait for my father to come from Perth to collect us. Her name was cathy and she was extremely nice to us, she said that your shop would be a really nice place to wait. When we came in my wife asked at the counter if we could leave our luggage at the side while we waited and told the lady that we were involved in a car accident. The lady was so kind and gave us tea but would not accept any money as she could see we were still in shock from what had happened. Then another lady asked if we would like more tea and some soup which we gratefully accepted. When we left i went to pay and again they would not accept any money from us. I would just like to say a big thank you for the kind generosity, its not often nowadays that people are so kind when people need it most. My wife and i will be back to Glenfinnen next year and we will definitly make a point of stopping in at your shop as its such a beautiful place and thank everyone in person. Again thank you so much.

I definitely recommend this place for delicious food, great place to meet up with friends, interesting books and original gifts to buy ...
