I've tried collecting a few things but never maintained the interest to keep it going.
What I have started doing lately is digging out or trying to track items that I treasured as a youth. Mainly picture books (ahem) as music and film is so readily available in digital format (and bar my vinyl I have no means to play any of it). Saying that I have kept a few things I don't have the heart to let go of even though I can't play them.
Currently on the list if anyone can help!
M&S R.O.T.J photo book
