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".

Meeting of the waters

A quick entry today, as I have been away to Dumfries for the start of Homecoming Scotland 2009. You can read about it tomorrow on my own blog!

This is where Cuddy meets Tweed. Cuddy, or Peebles Water, flows down under the bridge I showed you yesterday, along by the trees, under the footbridge here, and into the wider river Tweed in the foreground. This is a favourite spot to feed the ducks and gulls, and is often where you will find the swan family or maybe a heron. Once there was a cormorant sitting on the nearby cauld (weir), wings outstretched for all the world like a priest blessing the waters.
