I have the world's largest collection of seashells

I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world... perhaps you've seen it.

Not much happened today so decided a blip around the house was needed. This Cadbury cabinet is filled with a diverse samples of what happens when you're married to a son of a retired antique dealer. Although the prime collection has always been Puppets/Muppets/characters/etc, there are also what I call 'pocket collections' around the house, included what you see in this cabinet. What most people find funny after coming to our house is that I have don't have sentimental feelings towards anything, certainly not as much as Michael and could live in a minimalistic house very easily. However, I do adore the character that these pocket collections brings to our house, and the warmth and conversation that easily flow from them.

In other news, we did manage a nice lie-in today but instead of spending the day together, we all went separate ways! Charlotte went with Nanny and Gahdoo to meet Phillip Dunne (our local MP), Michael spent the day at NPA and I spent the day with the rabbits, laundry and books.

Still, at least I didn't spend the day dusting ... *ahem*
