I am a bit of a gatherer. I like nice things. I would like, over the decade, to (to use a pretentious phrase) 'pick up a few things' to add to my little collection. A few bits of Old Hall, a Midwinter tea cup or two, a few more old cameras...I am a sucker for design. Function is all very well and good but when something is both technically and ascetically pleasing it makes life that little bit more special doesn't it?
I suppose the best way I could quantify this choice is to say at the end of the decade the house will be full (but not overfull) of 'nice things'. That things we own are on the whole, dare I say it, fabulous. And remember, buying nice things from antique shops, car boot sales, flea markets, is a form of recycling. I am just doing my bit for the planet!
