Went and spent an afternoon on Saturday at another National Trust for Scotland (NTS) property. This time it was the turn of the Museum for Rural Life in East Kilbride. It's an interesting property, split between a, as the title would suggest a museum. This houses loads of items chronicling the development of farming and rural living through the ages.

The other part, if you can call it that, is a working farm with a small dairy heard that gets milked daily. The farmhouse is also a great example some fine Georgian architecture and the interior and the rest of the farm is of the 1950's era.

The farm is about half a mile from the actual museum building and can be reached by walking along the footpath or my getting the 'farm train', basically a carriage being pulled by a tractor.

Plenty of animals to see, like the big Clydesdale horse. You can also see the dairy heard being milked, most days, that's around 3pm.

If your not interested in farms or rural life in general then this is not the place for you but if you've got kids of a young age they'll love the farm with all the animals.

Spent a great day on Saturday up at Calderglen Park. The sun was out and I was pushing the pram. Happy days. Took it a bit off road and up round one of the many nature trails. Not something I would recommend but the big inflatable tyres and sprung suspension coped well.

Took loads of photographs or so I thought. Having now looked back most of them were of my daughter so my post of great the park is, and being able to show it has been tempered slightly. I've included what doesn't have baby Bunten in. Not much.

The photograph above is the from the bridge over the weir.

As you can see from these photographs Spring still hasn't quite sprung yet despite the last few days of cracking sunshine. The branches are still bare and not much signs of buds.

This photograph is not so great, this is a waterfall, one of a couple through the park but it wasn't flowing in it's full glory. The dark bit in the middle is where the water usually runs. Wasn't much volume probably due to the weather.

Next is a trip back to get more photographs and a visit to the bird and animal enclosures as well as having a look round the big house. If you get a chance give it a go for a couple hours. You might enjoy it.

Went out for a walk this evening for a change with the pram and @babybunten aka Rowan. It was a great evening for a walk. Dry and clear. Went along some of the cycle route 756, when we got to Nerston we headed over to the Stewartfield Loch or the James Hamilton Heritage Park, whichever you prefer. Well I managed to take a couple of photographs and I thought I would share them as I like them.

Looking towards the island as the sun sets.

Further round towards the island where all the ducks and water fowl were gathering.

A view if the castle or tower.

This last one is of the red sky over the Show Ground on my way home.

All in all we walked approximately 5 miles, to and from the loch. It was a good distance and a cracking evening for it. Roll on spring, the longer days and the chance to do this more often with the all-terrain pram.
