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".

This is how greengrocers' shops ought to look! The shop itself is filled with boxes of fruit and veg, packets of wholefoods, shelves full of jars of this and trays of that.... and it spreads out onto the pavement outside, with more boxes of veg and fruit, strings of onions, packets of herbs, as well as racks piled with trays of bulbs and spring flowers for planting out, and buckets of daffodils - 3, or was it 4, bunches for £1 - and other mixed spring flowers for the home. It is an Aladdin's Cave, full of treasures!

Strangely, this wee shop has had quite a chequered history. A variety of businesses have tried to make a go of things here, with nothing lasting very long. I think that may have changed now.
