Cammo (Stake) Estate


Up with the Wonder Dog then back to bed for half an hour. Had breakfast and a wash, Layla sent a text to say she and Bella were not going to Gymnippers and would get in touch later. So I thought I would take the Wonder Dog to the local woods, however Layla phoned and said they were coming over and we would go to Cammo 'Stake' Estate.
The girls arrived and after a wee while we left in the car for Cammo.
It was left in trust to Edinburgh City Council and what an amazing place it is--and open to the public.
The buildings--stables, the house are in ruins, the walled garden is still intact but overgrown and not functioning as a garden. There are holes in the wall where the fires must have been placed to warm the walls/greenhouses.
Had a super walk, saw the lake that was built so that in Winter when it froze people could skate on it! Ruaridh loved it will be back again with Graham.
To M/S for lunch then a visit to TKMax for snowsuit-no joy!
Walked home with Ruaridh. Phoned mum she is fine.
Made dinner, then went to meet Graham off the bus via the park, OMG what a lot of cars the bus was delayed somewhat.
Home had a cuppa. Had veggie stew, mashed potatoes and brocolli for dinner lovely.
Watched some TV, very tired fell asleep on sofa. Did some blogging and knitting then bed. Goodnight.
