Asleep in the sling

My ring sling is great for a snooze on a busy evening.

The day before The Wedding. Also Cattoos 16th birthday so a party ensued! A busy day of tooing and froing from Aberdeen to Inchmarlo/drum castle and Banchory area in general. Martin and Euan went off early to Ballater for Martin to golf and Euan stayed with Granny. They stayed there overnight so that Euan would get to bed at a reasonable hour and hopefully sleep better to be in good humour for his Aunties Wedding in the morning.

I was picked up at 11 with Rhona and we headed out to Raemoir Garden centre for lunch with dad, margie, bev, nig, stew, em, cat, di, catherine, julia and cattoo. It was a good place for lots of us to eat together, but very expensive for what we got. To the lodges at Inchmarlo after that and we all got settled in. They are lovely.

The party was fun. Fireworks, sparklers and Chinese lanterns made for a special sweet 16 for Cattoo. I had to forgo the fireworks and sparklers as Rhona was demanding my attention, but took photos of the lanterns. They are very pretty when they are set off but I hear they cause farmers problems due to the wire parts landing in their fields. Oh well, we had fun, and they will never know it was us!! A lovely evening was had by all and into bed by midnight, ready for a big day tomorrow.
