I would like to express my thanks to Numi for the idea of this thread and the positive comments received.
After getting everything out of boxes, cupboards & drawers it's been great just to handle, view and have a gentle play with everything.
Also helped to see the gaps/duplicates in my collection and can now look to purchase with a bit more purpose.
A bonus is that I've now got a visual record for insurance purposes
