On Tuesday, the Scottish summer reached a record breaking second nice day in a row. Another perfect day on the beach at Cruden Bay and a great chance to take the kites out for their maiden flights.
Neil had brought back two kites from China as presents to me and Maria after we had lost ours in the great kite disaster of 2007.
Although there was a good breeze coming onto the shore, it took a few crashed attempts to get the hang of flying the kite, but eventually we got it airborn and flew it for a good hour. It was even long enough for my Mum to have a shot and my Dad to come back from fishing the Ythan (catching two seatrout) and take the controls too.
After all this, we ate one of the seatrout for lunch and then went for a walk along the beach and back. In the evening it was off to the Kilmarnock Arms for a seafood platter!
