This is a question My most treasured possession

What's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?

My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.

Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

I wouldn't say
that I have anything with real sentimental value, other than the watch that my parents gave me for my 21st. It wasn't hugely expensive, and I didn't think that I had got so emotionally attached to it until I almost lost it a little while ago.

shame the bastard has stopped working now.

I have a wooden viking longship that my dad made (properly made, out of individual planks and everything) before I was born. This was given to me when they moved house, and I'd hate to see anything happen to it.

Other than that, my very old unplayable mandolin, my beautiful gold and black Fender Strat, and I'd say my surfboard, but I just sold it and haven't bought a new one yet.

I guess I'd have to save the stuffed penguin that my girlfriend has become incredibly attached to. She treats it in such a way that it makes me do it to, and I swear the bloody thing has a personality....

That ship
Sounds fantastic!
Any chance of a picture of it?

I forgot to add
that it is only just over a foot long....

it is pretty much perfect though

I guessed it was small
Sounds wicked though!

it is
the more I think about it, the more I love it

it's really representative of what my dad is like too, viking ancestry, good with both hands and brain...

I'll try and remember to take a pic and post it, he's made other models - some from kits, some not - which have all been labours of love, but by fair the simplest and best is my viking ship
