Dr Neil's Gardens

Today promised to be a bright, dry and fairly warm day.  Had I not had an appointment scheduled for the afternoon I would have gone to the beach.  I decided instead to head to one of my favourite places in Edinburgh, Dr Neil's garden's.  I had to take a detour on the way there as the road I normally use is closed.  This meant that it took me nearly twice as long to get there and restricted my time at the gardens.  Even so I managed to enjoy a peacefully visit to the gardens.  I sat by the lochside and sketched for a little while.  It was much more windy then I expected, so maybe not the best day for the beach after all!
