Of shoes and ships and sealing wax .... I was going to say a few words about my life here, but couldn't get much past "Born in Brisbane, Australia ...still there!" So perhaps a few words on what this web site is about. Part showcase, part attic, part therapy, mostly it's just fragments of what I have collected over the years. Like any attic most of it has been filed away gathering dust for longer than I care to remember, but also some of it is more recent, having only just been thrown into a corner. Hopefully, amongst the piles of bric a brac you might find a few pieces of interest. and cabbages and kings
