Peebles
Hubby and I took a wee trip to Peebles today - it is about a two hour drive from Greenock, taking the scenic route. Situated on the river Tweed, Peebles is a lovely town in the Scottish borders. It has quite a few small, interesting shops and hasn't been spoiled by the big national chains. On the drive there we passed lots of fields filled with sheep and lambs - so cute!
Love, Liz
I took some photographs of the Old Parish Church in Peebles.
You can see the town crest - one fish swimming in a different direction from the others. The town motto is "Contra Nando Incrementum" - which means - multiply by swimming against the flow, a reference to the salmon in the River Tweed.
There were quite a few charity shops but, unusually for me - I saw not one single thing that appealed to me! I did buy some scones and cakes from a little baker's shop. As soon as we got home I made a cuppa and the goodies were eaten in a matter of minutes - absolutely delicious!

I love your girl guides belt, with the pen knife and the whistle. I did have a laugh at you saying that you could not remove them and bend down that far :) I am afraid I didn't get any further than a Brownie. I still have my uniform somewhere, I must dig it out.
The nautical paraphernalia is awesome. Love the graphics in the old books, and gorgeous colours.
Enjoy your Sunday, Tam x
Oh, it must be wonderful to have the scenic route drive in your wonderful country with rich natures♡♡♡
I am so sorry to hear that you couldn't have a shopping you usually enjoy. However, you took us wonderful tour, thank you very much for sharing the pictures, my friend♬♬♬
Lots of Love and Many Hugs to you, xoxo Miyako*
Scones and cakes sound the ideal way to get over the disappointment of coming away empty handed from the charity shops!
Your area looks like a lovely place to live.
Hope you are well,
