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".

Welcome!

Welcome to Peebles for Pleasure! That's the motto of my hometown, and apart from enjoyable things to do, there is much to be seen that gives pleasure to the eye too. I hope to give you a photo a day from now on in the hope that they will give you pleasure and help you to get to know about where I live.

Here then is my first photo of the landmark that is undeniably Peebles, the parish kirk, with its crowned bell tower, taken yesterday afternoon, from the southern bank of the River Tweed, beside the bridge.





















I only have a small Casio Exilim 10.1 camera so don't expect professional pics! I'll do the best I can, so hope you'll call in again for more views of Peebles in the days to come!

    Great to see your new blog. Thanks for leaving a comment on my Around the World blog - I'll add you to my listings when I next update it.

    My listings are independant of the CDPB portal but I'm sure you'd be welcome there.
