Earlier today I was on my way out for a walk when along came a wee lad who took a look at my muskrat sporran and said: That's a great raccoon pocket. Can't say I've ever had that comment made before. The sporran is the oldest one I have still in use. I made it five or six years ago and it is my multipurpose sporran as it works for hiking in the woods and going to more formal events. What I liked about that wee lad was his inventive use of language—I would never of thought that it was a pocket, but he sure was right!
