For whom the bell tolls

Today, it tolls for me.

I've finished packing everything away and cleaning the shop ready for it to be closed up for the winter and this marks, for me, the official end of summer 2010.

Now I must continue my quest to find some work to sustain me through the winter until the merry-go-round brings us back to April, the beginning of the tourist season 2011.

So, the next Blip I upload (whenever that is) will be from Clare in winter mode.

Sorry I haven't been able to comment or even look at any Blips today but I've trying to get the cleaning finished as I'm really looking forward to having an afternoon off for the first time in absolutely ages. Thanks very much for the comments I've had over the last couple of days. These last few days of the season can feel rather sad as we say goodbye to friends and to the summer and your comments have added some bright spots.
