The little story

Cork Canopy

Cork Canopy is an angular canopy cottage with a steep roof, a basket of found things by the step and a tiny mushroom garden growing at its own pace. It is the kind of house that keeps the rain off a half-finished plan.

Corky the squirrel lives here and speaks very softly, so you may need to lean in. Corky has planted your unfinished idea in the garden and asks that you come back once it has grown a first leaf. There is no hurry, only a gentle reminder.

It is a quiet, woodland corner for a page that is still growing: an idea you are working on, a few notes and a promise to share the next leaf when it appears.
