I blame the weather!

As soon as the weather turns nasty and the days are dark and dreary, blips are hard to come by. For me, anyway.

Despite attending a really interesting talk this afternoon by a lady from Scottish Natural Heritage on the John Muir Way, which extends from Helensburgh in the west to John Muir's place of birth, Dunbar, in the east, there were no blipportunities.

That is why I have resorted to blipping a piece of traditional South African handicraft - a beaded gourd - which I brought back many moons ago.
