About a year ago we looked after a house belonging to an elderly relative of mine in Kent. She was a lady who didn't spend a lot, and kept things as they were. Living in the house was like stepping back in time. The decor, furniture, ornaments all originating from the 1920-30's.
A dusty place, but full of fascinating old trinkets and vessels. In the bathroom there was a lovely old cabinet, full of ancient medical looking bottles and measuring glasses.
As the house was being sold, they had to be saved. They now sit above my desk at the shop, where I often wonder what would happen if I drank any of them.
