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

I'll start this off with:

1. steampunk clock and weather station. It was a big purchase but makes me smile every time I enter the room.

2. Dreamland heated throw - so cosy watching TV.

  • I think one of my favourite possessions is a decanter that my wife and I bought at auction a few years ago. It has a silver collar around then neck which is hallmarked for the year 2000.It was missing its glass stopper, so at the moment it has a chrome rabbit-shaped stopper in it. Finally, it has a silver decanter label which my wife found on eBay, and I got engraved with the word "Vimto". I made a tune called "Renegade Vimto Connoisseur" for a compilation album a little while ago, and people seemed to think it was really funny. I love the subversive silliness of my Vimto Decanter, I think it says a lot about my personality.

    Gloriously subversive,   Loved Vimto when I was a kid.

    Thanks! I rediscovered my love of Vimto a while back and always take two pints of it when I go to bed for me to drink in the morning. There was someone on social media somewhere who made some snarky post about hating adults who drink squash/cordial, so that was what brought about the Renegade Vimto Connoisseur idea.

    What a cordial response to the snark. Which reminds me of the entertaining Lewis Carroll poem!

    I even made some blackcurrant cordial last summer, spiced with cloves. Lovely stuff, quite lively! So not sure what the person on social media would make of that...
