Just been to the Deventer Charles Dickens museum - with authentic Miss Haverhsham diarama.
Despite there being no connection between the town and Dickens, they have an annual festival here where people dress as characters from the books. Upstairs in the museum is a massive room full of Victorian period costumes.
Entry to to the museum is €2. At the desk the elderly woman who started the museum and built up the collection of ephemera and Dickens junk welcomes you.

A local is offering his cast iron pan collection for sale. I imagine it started like, “Maybe I’ll get another fry pan. They don’t make them like they used to!” And then 20 or 30 years later, this guy’s got so much iron his floor joists are threatened, and his kids don’t want any of them because they all use non-stick pans. #Saskatoon #collecting #castiron

I was reading about those weird autistic people who had too many vaccines and ended up collecting sticks.

Everyone knows that normal people collect stones.

Here's the pile I got on a short segment of the Appalachian Trail. It was a hard walk back.
