At noon today, the sun was in the clouds, and the temperature was just right. Half an hour's walk north came to the east gate of the Royal Botanical Garden in Edinburgh. The botanical garden covers 70 acres. There are many characteristic gardens and ten magnificent warm rooms. It's a very quiet place to come in. I like the soft environment better than the flagstone roads in the city streets. Many young mothers take strolls with baby carriages. Others read quietly in wooden chairs. There are faint scents of flowers in the air. Birds are singing in the treetops. It's a fresh and pleasant place.
