    damn Fabergé eggs. its a hollow market :(

    Coronation Egg, 1897 This, perhaps Faberge's most iconic egg, was presented by Emperor Nicholas II to his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, as a memento of her entry into Moscow on May 26th, day of their Coronation in the Uspensky Cathedral.

    My wife informed me that we have 8 bags of grated Parmesan in the fridge. I think I’ve been subconsciously preparing for a cheesy zombie apocalypse.

    Same. I can buy unreasonable amounts of cheese. Would drive the OH mad, but I seem to just like owning cheese.

    I must have some sort of cheese-related trauma in my past.

    No. If given a chance, I'd never buy anything except absolute essentials and then, only when there's not a tap left in the house.

    Nazi war memorabilia.

    Nothing from the allied side though, I wouldn’t be interested in that kind of thing.

    I can't go into Woodie's without coming out with one or two of the half price dying plants.
    There's a certain satisfaction to be had seeing them come back to life.

    Books, particularly cookery and food books. Love ordering online and waiting on the postman to deliver. I read them all but very rarely use them for recipes.

    The type you hook up to a PTO shaft or the Elwell/Gransfors Bruks variety?

    First they came for the socialists...

    It used to be cheese, the smelliest of smelly cheeses, with olives. Then , my gallbladder went wallop, so now it's plants. Garden is bursting with plants, more lasting satisfaction from the plants than the cheese. :)

    Both. I'm a fan of well crafted hand tools. That said most the ones I have would be considered antiques tbf.
