Cushion from Morocco

We have spent this evening watching a television programme of Michael Palin crossing the Sahara. He is actually in Timbuktu but it reminded me of our holiday in Morocco, when we were able to imagine just what it was like in the desert. So I decided today's blip would be this cushion which shows desert, palm trees, and giant tortoises which give some idea of the vast open spaces which you find in desert regions.
