The kids and I took a trip along to the Beveridge Park this morning, its about a 15 minute car journey from our house. We just went along for a walk, due to us all having cabin fever, after being cooped up in the house, with all the rain that poured down over the weekend.
This lovely swan was the first to greet us, as we walked up to the loch, there was a slight breeze blowing through our fingers, both my son and I noticed this, my daughter always walks around with her arms folded, she dropped her arms by her sides to feel it too 🙂 …
Tucked in behind was her baby..
This is the Island in the middle of the loch, they do boat hire here and you can row little boats around the island. Although there was no-one rowing today
As we were walking around, my son noticed that some poor kiddies dolly was floating in the water!
The contrasting colours in the trees here are absolutely beautiful…
This wee shabby duck looked a bit worse for wear siting at the edge of the loch…
About half way round the loch we made a wee detour over to the formal gardens, which were lined with Lavender and Roses… absolutely beautiful… and there was a water feature in the centre…
The statue on top of the fountain was an animal of some sorts..looked like a wee gopher
The roses were stunning…
There was a wet area with a bridge and we stopped to take a picture of this aquatic plant, we have no idea what it is, so will need to do a big of reasearch… If you know what it is please email us 🙂
The path led us back round to the loch and this pretty little greylag goose
Some of its friends chose to wander towards the rose gardens…
Which were full of beautiful blooms and scents…
We all enjoyed our walk… it blew away a few cobwebs and left us all feeling chilled and relaxed 🙂
