Nice, loads on this weekend...... all on the same day

Deeside Speed Festival, Custom Bike Show in the Broch and the Lifeboat

Stonehaven harbour festival next weekend too! town will be in lock down for the half marathon, dont get caught out folks.

Good shout cheers

Went to the Aberdeen Lifeboat thingy, the wee man enjoyed it until the ramp alarm went off continuously for 20 mins on a cargo ship across the dock and really upset him.

Took him to the seafront for an ice cream and a tear about on his balance bike to make it up and he wis fair trikkit

Was a good turn out, well supported event. Thanks for coming down.

Aye it was good.

We didn't get on the lifeboat as it was always full every time we turned up at the gate....so he was a bitty hacked off with that

The ice cream and two wheels put that fire out and will catch the open day again next year

Was a tough one to gauge as we where letting 20 people on at a time, any more than that and it would have been too crowded and to hard to manage with such a small crew. The sheer volume of people by mid morning did mean that queuing for 15 mins was necessary for a tour round the stoney and the Aberdeen all weather boats. Definitely worth the wait many said.

Look forward to seeing you both next year! FYI stoney harbour day is on this weekend also, the wee man might get another shot if he inst boated out.

Ahh ok you were working at it? Nice one.

Yeah we circled and circled waiting to get on the big boat but keeping an almost 3 year old satisfied isn't the easiest haha! We also had commitments in the PM so couldn't wait longer..... and I got asked to move my car so off we went

Yeah I saw Stoney RNLI is on, got a few pals that are from there... the harbour will be chokka and theres the ALLFORD and Thunder In The Glen and something else I can't remember that is on this weekend

Choices Choices choices!
