However, he lived in gorgeous roomy Arts and Crafts houses and not in 41 square metres on an ancient boat, SO, I have added to his criteria. Yes, useful and beautiful but also smallest size available with highest performance and preferably see-through too so as not to take up space or appear to do so. Here are this week's first Hero choices: The slimmest, most powerful, cordless Dyson hoover. Life may be chaotic but it feels a whole load better when the bits of the carpet that survive each wall demolition don't look scuzzy.
And a 'thing of beauty' glass infuser mug from Whittards for the mint and ginger tea which is my drink of choice these days before sun/yardarm time.
Both this items are life enhancing 'things.' We won't have much on this boat but I am determined that whatever we do have will gladden our hearts however mundane their function! Surprising what deep joy a good vacuuming can bring some people!
We arrived with two dinner plates, side plates, a set of cutlery each, two glasses, two mugs a kettle, saucepan and frying pan, sharp kitchen knife, a fish slice and slotted spoon. I've added two bowls, an oven tray and a serving platter. Will report further on what other bare necessities I succumb to feeling I need. (And yes, I know my Whittard mug wasn't essential but it ticked all WM's and my boxes!)
