Today's Blip is a set of conkers which were together but separated when the shell was removed.

Hopefully these can create a forest together for change throughout Scotland, bringing changes elsewhere in the political world too. I just hope that the one's that have voted for their first time, or not or a while keep listening and watching or once again will disengage from the dour politics.

Sad to see Alex Salmond stand-down, totally understandable, but he has spent most of his life working on this, compared to putting a cross in a box in one moment. But let's just see how things move a long, we can still dream, maybe more people will dream it so hard it will come alive the next time we look for independence. Who knows?

Sad day today for me, my family, for Mum especially too, this being the 4th time of trying in her lifetime in 1951, 1979, 1997 and now 2014.

I am one of 1,617,989 one of many!
