1. Copper Sponges
These copper sponges are brilliant for washing up; they are gentle so you can use them on non-stick pans but they're also good for removing rust.
2. Henry Shinner
This guy paints furniture in the most perfect shades. It sells out instantly but I bagged a chest of drawers for Glen Dye.
3. Arjan Van Dal
I collect the beautiful work of Arjan Van Dal and added two pieces to the hall table this month.
5. Cindy’s Tea
Cindy’s Poppy Tea. Seriously, this stuff is amazing. I knew opium helps with sleep, but this is legal.
7. Alex Pole
Each of our cabins and cottages has some of Alex Pole’s incredible heirloom objects in them and I stocked up this month.
8. City Pennants
I had some of these bespoke City pennants made for Glen Dye and for our pub, The Glynne Arms too.
9. Alarm Clock
A red alarm clock designed by Jasper Morrison for Punkt. It’s great; you really don’t need your phone in your bedroom.
10. Hand-woven Chairs
I bought some of these wonderful chairs in various colours for the Showman’s Caravan at Glen Dye.
11. Favourite Pen
I stocked up on my favourite pens; the finest writing instrument known to mankind is the Artline 200 Fine 0.4. Yours for £1.62.
12. De Buyer Frying Pan
Some wonderful frying pans from a French master via the excellent Dyke and Dean.
