It's all about the trunk!!

A few weeks ago I was chatting to mum about what I should use to send my things out to Kenya. She suggested a trunk.....oh dear, how old fashioned were my first thoughts! I was surprised to then read on the freight website that it is the recommended object! Sorry mum! So, after a few days in Newtown, I inherited my Grandmother's trunk and fell in love with it instantly. Already I feel we have been through a lot together. Our first journey together, and the beginning of our adventures down south was to Cardiff and can be simply described as amazing! I have never had so many people want to come over and chat about luggage before! People wanted to hold it, touch it, find out about its history-I am sure a few people took cheeky photos...ok maybe not, but it has become quite a photographed object since! Do have a slight trunk injury on my knee from swinging it too much on the train-trying to demonstrate that it wasn't that heavy, but if anything it just adds a lil bit more to our relationship!

Well, I now have two trunks...it's amazing how one has become two! Have also been quite successful trunk spotting-even finding them used as coffee tables in restaurants-awesome idea, and may well be what mine becomes for a couple of years in Nairobi. Not everyone understands the trunk fever, so hopefully a couple of pics will help share the trunk love!! Enjoy!!

Poor Rich, the excitement of seeing and also touching a trunk distracted him from looking at the camera!
