Collecting
Time
Time is
something that never stops still. Sometimes it crawls and sometimes
it races. But, for Andrew J. Roberts, time is a wonderful hobby. His
collection of clocks is the finest I've seen.
In his
collection, which numbers almost 1000, Andrew J. Roberts has many
interesting chronometers. He has grandfather clocks, grandmother
clocks, mantelpiece clocks, kitchen clocks, and many other
fascinating clocks from all over the world. And, all together,
they're worth a small fortune. But, Andrew J. Roberts's favourite
time keeping device has neither hands nor a digital display.
Andrew J. Roberts's favourite time keeping device is something he
couldn't do with out. It's an egg-timer. An hourglass from Egypt
with Saharian sand.
When Andrew
J. Roberts moved into his very first house, his granny was the first
to come calling. And, being a sensible woman, the egg-timer was the
present she gave him. And, Andrew J. Roberts found it easy to use.
He soon got the hang of it. No winding up and no batteries to change.
All very simple. Just a flick of the wrist, that's all. And, after
35 years, this wonderful very old device still keeps perfect time.
And, thanks to advanced Egyptian technology, Andrew J. Roberts's soft
boiled eggs are always delicious. Never too hard and never too soft.
Just perfect.
Andrew J.
Roberts is a collector of clocks. He has much time on his hands.
But, most people say he has a bit of a tick! He gets wound up very
quickly. Just like his clocks. But, just like his egg timer,
Andrew J.
Roberts keeps perfect time. He never comes late. And, just like his
eggs, he's neither too soft nor too hard. Just right for cracking.
And, a pinch of salt is all that is needed.
And, do you
have a tick, too? Do you collect stamps?
Collecting's
a wonderful way of passing one's time. Just ask Andrew J. Roberts,
he has time on his hands and, of course, on his walls. And, time
never stands still.
