Thanks to Castle Rock Edinvar Housing Association, a new community enterprise has set up in neighbouring Craigmillar offering good quality, low cost recycled furniture, white goods, TVs, kettles, toasters, microwaves, paint, flooring, curtains etc. — all you need to make a home on a very low budget. Marc 2 are now looking for both customers and donations, so do call in at 67 Peffer Place, EH16 4BB – the unit where Duddingston Bakery used to be. And if you need a good quality new bed or mattress, while you’re down that way you might pop in to Blindcraft to see what they have to offer and support the area’s oldest local community enterprise.

Winter Solstice celebration bonfire warms the cockles
On Saturday 18th of December, 2 — 4pm, PEDAL held a Winter Solstice Celebration at Donkeyfield Community Orchard. Around 40 people came along to celebrate this most seasonal of events, including several folk who had never been to the orchard before — not bad for sub-zero temperatures. The trees were wassailed in fine fashion (thanks to Gordon for the local cider, and Mairi for the song from the Winter’s Night concert), Peter brewed up some fine mulled wine and created a fantastically warming fire, Beth told a great story and some lovely lanterns were made.
