Right well Jeff Lewis is STILL simply the best, better than all the rest. But of all the hundreds of billions of times I've seen him, that was right up there. Fantastic. Sorry to sound like such a drooling fanboy, but there it is.

It's been a difficult couple of weeks for an array of different reasons; there've been highs and lows, ups and downs, cocktails, near-death experiences, conversational latin, coffees, Philip Pullman, basements, inferior library cards, Walter Pater, the smell of KFC, the taste of Carluccio, empty gigs, full hearts, full brains-

But Jeff Lewis is the great healer. Bring it on, Exeter. It is time.
