A sunny afternooon in Peterborough, New Hampshire

Peterborough is a quaint, quintessential New England town located southwest of Concord and and a bit northeast of Keene.  Only about 45 minutes north of Route 2 in Massachusetts, it's an easy trip to make in a day.  This pretty little village offers adorable shops, great food and music too!  There's a rich history in Peterborough, as you'll find at the local Historical Society. 

What a wonderful old sign!  The Peterboro (note the spelling) Diner offers a simple dining experience and a place to meet friends over a cup of coffee. 

Alice Blue was a wonderful surprise!  A perfect place to purchase your summer escape wardrobe, this petite and unexpected pleasure compares with the crowded shops on Newbury Street in Boston; without the crowds!  Luscious summer linens abound here.  Do you have a wedding to attend this summer season?  You are sure to find the perfect nuptial ensemble at Alice Blue.

Clearly, a very dog friendly town.
