Welcome!

This blog is to introduce you to my town - Peebles, in the Scottish Borders - just one photo at a time, with perhaps a little description and maybe some history thrown in. I hope you will find it interesting. The title comes from a historical comment made by someone who preferred Peebles to the great and famous cities. I know how they felt. It's always a pleasure to return here however long you've been away.

If you want to make a comment, ask me a question, or merely just want to say "hello, I've dropped in", you can do that by using the comment section below each entry. (Just click on the word COMMENT and follow instructions. ) I'd love to know what you think of what you see of my town.

I don't have an expensive elaborate camera so the photo quality may not be brilliant, but I'd like to think my pics will please you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks to Mary H for the lovely designs I used for my background, and thanks too to all of you who have chosen to support my blog by becoming "followers".

The Bookroom

Before leaving Whitie's for Bank House across the road, I thought I would put in a photo of Douglas in his Bookroom, down the passage to the side of the front shop, so here he is, behind the counter, with portraits of his grandparents on the wall behind him, surrounded by just a few of the of the books he keeps in stock, while in the corner is his computer with which he looks up any book you might want, and, if available, orders it for you. The Bookroom really is a wonderful place if you like books!Add Image
