On the nomadic trek I've been pursuing, all my stays have been for the necessity of it. It's been all pragmatic. Ian's stay is one for the heart. It's not a house with rooms, it's a community of collaborators. It wouldn't work without the patience and open-mindedness of Ian himself backing it up. Loved it here, small room, fascinating projects, and of course the positive reminders on every wall. I wrote one myself, though I doubt he'll post it. It went 'It's okay to prick your finger but,' Wait no that wasn't it. Can't find it, ah well.
