Some Favourite Blogs

I’ve been busy with house and garden stuff this past wee while so haven’t been able to get around to quite as much blogging and visiting blogs as I usually do, but I’ve just seen that Evelyn at Evee’s Blog has recently posted some lovely blogposts. If you’re interested in Scotland, gardening and beautiful photographs you should definitely hop over to her. One post is about Edinburgh and some places nearby, one about a friend’s beautiful garden and she’s been gallivanting along the east coast of Scotland recently too.

Another of my favourite blogs to visit is in The Silver Room which belongs to Michelle who is an artist normally making and exhibiting her gorgeous jewellery in Newcastle I believe, but at the moment she’s having a wee bit of a change and is having a taste of shop life as she’s looking after a friend’s shop in Kendal and I hope getting a chance to show off some of her own artwork.

If you’re looking for that special ring or other piece of unique jewellery then in The Silver Room is the place to go. You can design exactly what you want and even help with the making of it. I find the processes fascinating, it’s just a pity that Michelle wasn’t around when I needed a wedding/engagement ring, I had to make do with H. Samuels!

Evee’s Blog

Evee’s Blog is one of my favourites. You might know that Evee has been having a few problems recently one way and another and wasn’t able to blog so frequently, but she has a lovely brand new blog up and running now.

Do yourself a favour and have a wee keek at Evee’s Blog. She’s been getting out and about and has some lovely photos of the Birks of Aberfeldy and Cornwall.

I hope you manage to get access to your own photos again Evee. What a scunner!

More from Evelyn

Just a quick one tonight!

I discovered recently that Evelyn of Evee’s blog is an even busier bee than I thought she was as she also has a blog called Peebles for Pleasure which is obviously about the Scottish Borders town of Peebles and is just full of gorgeous photos of the area, by Iain Mackay.

I really don’t know the area all that well as I’ve only been to the town itself for very short walks along the high street whilst on our way to visit nearby relatives. I’m going to have to give Peebles more time next time we’re there because we’ve been missing all the great bits. Just going by the photos I’d definitely move there if it wasn’t so far away from Perth and Dundee.

If you read books by O. Douglas (Anna Buchan, John Buchan’s sister) you’ll be interested in Peebles for Pleasure. It’s easy to see why Anna loved the place and wrote about it, giving it the name of Priorsford in her books.

The Buchan family moved to Kirkcaldy in Fife when their father, who was a Scottish Free Church minister was preaching at a church here. I think they lived in Fife for at least eleven years and Mrs Buchan in particular must have been ‘pining for Peebles’ all that time as the blast from the north sea must have come as a shock to her. They did eventually get back to the Peebles area.

It’s a bit of a miracle that I found Peebles for Pleasure because I don’t think Evelyn has it on her sidebar, unless I just can’t see it for looking at it – if you see what I mean. If you haven’t found it before and you like lovely photos do yourself a favour and hop over.
