 Hello friends,I had hoped to have the third State of The Nest Address ready for today, it being the date of my self-chosen anniversary: six years of consistently sharing a letter with the world. However, that will have to wait a wee while longer, it is drafted, but neither edited nor formatted (and I have not even started recording the audio). I am busy with my belle-mère, finishing the surround for the window in Ailsa’s bedroom, fixing where the workmen ripped out an electricity cable, and rewiring the light it was attached to (the photo below was taken from this window). I should have that letter with you later this week, or early next, with a bit of luck. (There will be a voiceover for this wee post around the same time too, I imagine!)(To be honest, this letter being later than it perhaps should have been is a bit in keeping with the general theme of the previous 12 months, one of taking a step back from the internet, concentrating on work which will not immediately gain subscribers or followers, but is vital work, nevertheless. I am, however, slowly returning to the internet world.)That said, I did not want today’s anniversary to go unsung, so I am sending this brief note instead. A lot has happened in the last six years, after all...If you are a masochist, and want to be fully ready for the third Address, that letter where I discuss what has happened on Substack over the preceding year, both in a general manner and also specifically for The Crow’s Nest, then here are the first two instalments:The State of The Nest (2023)The State of The Nest 2 (2024)Neither is required reading but, if you are one of those people who like tracking changes on platforms, looking at what is working at one particular time, but not the next, then they may be interesting.One thing you might have recently missed is the piece I shared here:This is essentially ‘simply’ the story of just shy of a week’s worth of trail/wildlife camera photos and footage but, I’d like to think, also something a little more than that. There are lots of photos and videos of several different mammalian species. I quite enjoyed sharing this.This year’s iteration of A Fall In Time, detailing that moment in my life when I left behind the city and other humans and walked out into the woods alone, for rather a long time, is coming to a sort-of end. Sort-of, because the day by day account, an index/navigation for which can be found at this link, is close to finishing but, this year, I will be continuing this series with several extra essays and pieces: something I threatened before, but never came to pass. Many of these will be tucked behind the paywall, as they are essentially me playing around with the themes and ideas I want to expand upon in a longer book (also linking with my Ancestral, Wild Empowerment series), and I don’t want them easily accessible to the world. There will be some free things, however, although these extras will likely be arriving post mid-winter celebrations. I’d like to get something out before, but I am also very aware that this time of the year is both precious and a little short of time!Here’s last week’s compilation:Finally, for now, I will not be having any kind of Black Friday sale; I’m really not a big fan of the concept. There might, however, be a Christmas/seasonal discount upcoming, before prices rise in the calendrical new year (personally, I like to think the year starts after the solstice, just makes sense to me!). For now, however, you can subscribe here:You can also leave a tip of any amount here (thank you, so much, to those of you who have done so!):One other reason I am not tying myself to any kind of schedule for the continued A Fall In Time work is because I want to try and catch up with your comments and replies and shares. I do read and appreciate each and every one, and I shall reply soon. Thank you.More soon, with the Third State of The Nest Address and, if you are subscribed to that section, the eleventh week of A Fall In Time.Alex Get full access to The Crow's Nest at alexandermcrow.substack.com/subscribe
