What's your favourite possession and why? Or more than one item, if you like!

Small wooden mouse - was my grandmother's and is next to my bed to look after me.

I don't think I have one, there are many things I own that I love, but then I tend not to keep things I don't need or like.

That reminds me of William Morris' famous saying, “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” [that's why I divorced , because he was neither.]

I've moved house so many times,

Me too - I've moved 35 times including rentals. I recently ditched 50% of my books, giving to the library, charity shops and the rest dismembered for recycling. I feel better now my home is less cluttered, so I entirely agree about 'cargo! It is just extra work, dusting and maintaining.
