An Easter holiday special, in which we take in Exeter’s Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Ancient Egypt, the Grand Tour, stuffed birds, Congolese objets d’art, camera-less photography, amateur collectors, wunderkammern/cabinets of curiosity, Bruce Chatwin, Nicky Hirst, madeleine moments, Broomhill Sculpture Park, sculpture in general, Ronald A. Westerhuis, Carol Peace, Jake Rusby, Mike Roles, Dartington Crystal, Swedes, Twitter, Britain’s Got Talent, The Doors, poetry, Greil Marcus, Jenny Diski and jazz liner-notes, and – a trip to Gnome Reserve notwithstanding – I try not to deride my beloved’s beloved West Country.
