Our Lives with Michelle McManus: Kindness on a pink bike, bees and collecting park runs!

Kindness on a pink bike, bees and collecting park runs!

BBC Radio Scotland - Our Lives with Michelle McManus, Kindness on a pink bike, bees and collecting park runs!

Doing the Tour de Park Run, making bees a family thing and the kindness of strangers!

Michelle McManus celebrates the kindness of strangers on pink bikes, gets all jogged up for Park Run and learns what it means to love bees!

This week Michelle hears from Jason, a man who's turned Park Run into a passion - so much so he's about to complete the full set, having taken part in every single Scottish Park Run going.  And if Jason's enthusiasm doesn't get you grabbing your trainers and heading for the park this weekend, nothing will! 

We’ll also be hearing a gorgeous wee tale from Cat and Yazzie - total strangers who were united through a simple act of kindness involving a big heart, an old pink bike and the Aviemore triathlon.

Plus mother and son, Sarah and Martin, explain how they’ve got a shared love of bees!  A hobby which has recently led to Martin becoming crowned a World Champ – Scotland’s got a bee World Champion, who knew?!
