On the Today programme Sophie Dahl was appealing for people to contribute to moving her grandfather's writing hut into a museum. It is currently in the garden where, being "untouched" it is decaying rapidly.
Am I being unreasonable to think that the Dahl estate could easily cough up half a million for this project? Or is there something I should remember about the way he left his money?
But even so - am I being unreasonable to think that, if they wanted to preserve the hut, that they could have popped down to B and Q occasionally for a tin of wood preservative...?
I'm inclined to think his books are his legacy, and not his hut!
