We usually go out to see some countryside, trees at the weekend because my friend works from home and never gets out. The trees, rivers (usually with Esk in the name somewhere) are good for your head, just being out there and hearing the birdies and all that.

             Today was typical. We went to Musselburgh beach, Inveresk Lodge Garden, and Newhailes Estate. 

              In the lodge garden we saw a Deer. This is the third deer I've seen around the Central Belt in the last couple of years. In fact, we saw two at Mavisbank a month or so ago. Last year or the year before we saw on up by a reservoir near Polmont. I thought all the deer in Scotland were in the Highlands, but obviously not. The one in the middle photie is just behind the tree and almost invisible on the photie, but it was a stand out in real life. 

              The bluebells were in a wood on the Newhailes Estate. That's the house in the top photie.
