James’ Court was built between 1723-7 by a developer called James Brownhill. His plan was for a courtyard building of exclusive apartments, in the style of its earlier neighbour, Milne’s Court. A series of old closes were demolished to make way and a square courtyard was formed with a tall tenement forming the North side.
Straight away it became one of the most fashionable addresses in Edinburgh. In 1762 the famous philosopher David Hume, moved into an apartment in James Court. Shortly afterwards he travelled to Paris as a secretary to a British diplomat, but he clearly missed his home. In a letter of 1763 written to his friend Adam Ferguson he admits: “…I wish twice or thrice a day, for my easy chair and my retreat in James Court”.
However by 1770, as the New Town started to be built, Hume was attracted by the prospect of a modern townhouse and saw the limitations of his Old Town home, describing it as: “…very cheerful and elegant, but too small to display my great talent for cookery…”

The joys of youth !!
While my wife and I were hiking back from the "Hole-in-the-Wall” at Rialto Beach in Olympic National Park, Washington State; I came across a lone female backpacker with her teddy bear companion in tow. As the hike can go for many miles and camping is allowed, I guess a good friend is needed to listen to all those campfire stories.
The adventures that bear has had over a lifetime must be incredible, if you happen to see this photo, please share with me a few of your stories; I would love to hear them.
If you are the young woman in the photo, I would be happy to hear your side as well.

Novamente malas prontas...
Borboletas no estômago e uma ansiedade sem fim desta nova viagem.
Não estou indo (ainda) para fora do Brasil novamente, porém vou viajar..e colocar o pé na estrada é sempre uma sensação otima..uma liberdade repentina e uma felicidade caótica..
Rumo ao Rio e depois Espírito Santo. São só 10 dias...mas mágicas acontecem sempre em viagens...
Espero voltar com lindas fotos e maravilhosas lembranças!
Beijo povo...
