Dumbarton pipe band comp

I know the title says pipe band comps but we weren’t intrested in the pipe bands, sandra and I took the girls for the highland dancing. They we both competing Abbie in intermediate and Chloe in premier. We arrived very early to get settled and set up, it also allowed for some sun bathing while wait as it must of been the hottest day so far this year.
They both did 4 highlands along with horn pipe (the one of the pics is of Abbie in her horn pipe outfit), so it was a short but very enjoyable day. They both danced very well and I was very impressed with them both. The other pics are off Chloe and Abbie during the dances.
We all enjoyed the Dumbarton pipe band comp but there was one huge downer on the day thoughout the whole time there the amusment rides that were also in the ground didn’t every shut up, they must of been at full volume, with a constant thud thud thud, it sounded like a vauxhall nova driving thought Maryhill, with only one song. Just a suggestion for the organsiers “I think you should maybe volume or number or rides”. But again I will say the day was very well organised and I will be going back again.

Out for dinner at the River Inn, which is located in houston. Sandra and I are enjoying the Sunday Carvery. We both had only two courses, the starters were perfect and of a good size, sandra had the prawn cocktail and I had the chicken fillets with Garlic Mayo. The carvery had a brilliant selection of mains, we both had the roast beef with all the triming I could fit on my plate. It was delicious we never got to desert but they all looked amazing. Well worth the price £13.95 or £15.95 for three courses definatly worth a visit on Sunday. Will report back on the rest at some point.
