00:00 A collection of spoons that was started as a hobby by a pensioner but ended up covering
00:05 the walls of two rooms in his house have gone on the market.
00:10 Sadly the pensioner died and now his daughter is hoping to find a buyer with £23,000 who
00:16 will love them as much as he did.
00:18 How many spoons are you selling?
00:21 It's over 2,500.
00:24 Why are you selling?
00:26 Because I don't need it, this is not my hobby.
00:30 So was it your dad's hobby?
00:32 Yes.
00:33 It's an awful lot of spoons.
00:34 How long was he collecting them for?
00:37 Three years.
00:39 From the pictures it looks like they'd pretty much taken over his house.
00:44 Yeah, it's amazing.
00:47 What did people say when they went round and saw all these spoons?
00:51 There was excitement and they were like "Oh, wow, it's a lot of spoons."
00:59 Do you feel sad that you've put them up for sale?
01:02 Yes, a little, yes, but I don't need this because there's a lot of plays in my house.
01:10 So a lot of spoons to find somewhere for, isn't it?
01:14 Yeah.
01:15 Are you hoping to find someone who will love them just as much as your dad did?
01:19 I hope, I hope that it's not easy.
