Reminds me, though, of the man who made the wonderful gardens at Inverewe. He wrote a memoir and described wholesale slaughter of puffins, I think (for sport), and then said: There aren't as many puffins as there used to be.' Seemed to think there was no connection.Leslie Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105465949970430998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-31897266798204727822013-03-13T15:54:09.745+00:002013-03-13T15:54:09.745+00:00So much to see in Venice, and you use it so beauti...So much to see in Venice, and you use it so beautifully in your books!

How brilliant to hear about the real Natural History Museum! You are quite right, such museums are largely shameful monuments to the Victorian male plundering the natural and cultural world.
