Kalmykia

As even those merely given to casual pottering around these parts (and no shame in that) cannot help but have noticed, unhemmed has got to the ground its ear, on the pulse a finger, and generally oodles of nous when it comes to things cultural, things countercultural, and things shonkily tertium quiddish. It will come, then, as no surprise to hear that Radio 4's Book of the Week is to thank for sending us in the direction of all this stuff. I particularly like this snap of Warwickshire's finest.
