Leisure:Hobbies
Why do we get attached to our possessions? In this episode, we explore the emotion-riddled relationship between us and material objects, and what our fountain pens mean to us.

26:04—Emotional attachment to pens
- What do your fountain pens mean to you? Has this changed over time?
- Is there a pen that is particularly meaningful, and why?
- Do you feel more connected to a pen when you have had it for a long time, or when you know its history?
- What do you think your pens say about you?
- How would you feel if all your fountain pens were lost in a fire? Would you want to find exact replacements for your favourite pens or would you start over afresh?
