Monthly column on the arts: I was there
I don't know whether you browse much in charity shops. It's one of my favourite pastimes; as an inveterate collector of other people's past enthusiasms I enjoy entering with a few coins in my pocket and emerging with carrier bags stuffed with treasure trove.
David Porter
Our house is spatially challenged, so much of the stuff has to go back after it has been listened to, read or played with, but the coins go to worthy causes.
