Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a mixing bowl with paddle attachment (or hand mixer), beat together butter and sugar. Add juice and eggs and mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk. Fold in lime zest, nuts, and blueberries. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine lemon and lime juices and sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle loaf with glaze. Cool and serve right away or it lasts for up to 4 days at room temperature.
