The Emperor's Terrapin is on tour, and it has just reached Sunderland.

This is not a very good photo of the beast, carved from a single lump of jade nephrite: picture him a paler, milkier green, suspended in his glass box above a mirror, so that he seems to swim in the blaze of the spotlights. Last night

durham_rambler went as Gail-Nina's guests, accompanied by

desperance, to his welcome party, and since it was in Sunderland, we were joined by Mary and Bryan Talbot. And a good time was had by all.
