An otter's den is called a holt.

{Two black pebbles through which to see the world anew.}

Standing by the small-clawed Asian otters on Louise’s 32nd birthday, I received some good news, my book, Find Your Place, was acquired by Artspace Mackay for their collection. It seemed such a fitting place to receive such news and to be elated, surprised and bowled over in such good, pebble-polishing, mussel-eating company (the otters that is, not Louise & co). Unexpected good things always know just when to make themselves known, don’t you find?
