I’ve been an inveterate collector all my life, but have scaled down my activities these days. I collect ceramic Napoleonic military figurines, silver vesta cases and calling card cases, unusual ink wells, Georgian caddy spoons, small silver items relating to the history of this city, sea glass, fossils...... I had a large collection of bells and old blue and white china but got rid of them when we moved ! If I ever have any spare money (ha ha) I would like to start a collection of vinaigrettes, but they fetch serious prices, so it might be a long time coming!
