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".

Shadows


The sun has a wee way to go before it reaches its highest point in the sky, but towards the late afternoon right now, it casts the trees of the Green into long dark shadows.
Note the washing poles on the Green too! It used to be that this was where the townspeople could hang out their laundry to dry in the wind. Nobody does it now though, but the poles remain as a reminder that the Green is a public place and can still, under local by-laws, be used for drying laundry, as well as for grazing your sheep. Now there's a thing!
