Hey I thought it would be interesting to know what we all like to buy and collect. I like to buy books, I own lots of Agatha Christie books and loads of lego minifigures which I love to buy and collect. I've also began collecting money, my mum used to collect vintage banknotes, she had an album which is now mine and in it there's money from the 1920s. Such lovely things. I've also began collecting records.
What do you all like to collect?
Horse chesnuts, I have hundreds and dry them before storing so they don't rot. They serve absolutely no purpose other than being periodically counted and sitting in cardboard boxes.
As a child, I used to love the colour and shine of fresh ones - but they always went dull, Can they be buffed up and polished?
I've never tried, the bigger ones tend to shrivel slightly in the drying process, but they all keep their colour quite well. The smaller they are the shiner they stay in my experience.
