There’s something magical about something old. It may be functional, beautifully formed, eclectically thrown together or a feat of engineering for its day – I love it all.
It throws me back into a time before mine began. Decades of bone china tea cups, drain pipe trousers, ration books and a whole lot of history we can learn a thing or to from. Love it.
