Yesterday - before going swimming - David (aka Wiggly) and Robert came round for brunch.
They travelled all the way from Ealing with 2 large and heavy suitcases which contained Adrian's collection of miniature bottles.

These bottles belonged to Adrian's grandfather and when Adrian moved to his studio-flat about 16 years ago, he gave them to David for safekeeping, due to lack of space. They kept them in the garden shed and were damaged by water.

Adrian spent quite a bit of time last night and today going through them. Sadly not much can be saved.


Their contents evaporated and the labels peeled off and discoloured.

Here are a few that Adrian washed because they have unusual colours and/or shapes



and here are some in their original condition
