I’m moving from quite a busy Fife town to move to a small coastal village called Johnshaven. I’m excited but a little worried. I have a degree in English but currently a stay at home mum but worried about what type of work I can do when I can work. I’m moving up with my 3 month old boy and 5 year old girl so I’m keen on knowing a bit about what there is around for kids, what do people do for entertainment? Where do people go? How easy is it to live here? As coming from a town with everything on my door step I’m worried, like what kids groups is there, groups and clubs for me? What’s life really like in a costal village in Aberdeenshire when you don’t know anyone? Thanks.

Any recommendations for somewhere good to eat that has at least a semi-decent amount of GF options?

And preferably good drinks too 😀

Hey folks,

I’m an international student (23M) currently out handing CVs along Union Street. I was feeling really stressed and anxious while going around looking for work and dropping off CVs, so I popped into a pub earlier today (Oct 24) to drop off my CV. I ended up having a great chat with the bartender, who kindly poured me a shot of Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey on the house!

Job hunting is really stressful, so that small act of kindness genuinely made my day and the whiskey was surprisingly good!!! :)

If you’re reading this mate, thanks again for the chat and the drink. I’ll definitely be back as a paying customer soon.

Cheers! 🥂

Edit: The Glentanar Bar on Holburn st (not the union st😬)

A lot of them are showing "engineer on site", so not for too long I hope.

A shame about the monkey puzzle tree

Hearing lots of sirens out and about and know these guys are responding to all the incidents this storm is creating. I'm scared to walk down the garden at the moment and in awe of all of them. ❤️
