Jon Crispin's Notebook

When we are on our walks in the woods, Olive is in the habit of picking up a stick and dragging it back to the house.  She dug this one out of the snow the other day.  I was pretty sure she wouldn’t manage it, but to my amazement she succeeded.  Without any exaggeration, I would have to say it was at least 12 feet long and quite heavy.

One of my suitcase backers from Australia, Chelle Destefano, has just put up a kickstarter appeal, and it looks interesting.  I would encourage any of you who are interested in abandoned spaces to check it out here.
