Meet the latest member of my family.

His name is Dereck, and I adore him.

I saved him from a dusty storeroom in my school.

He is named after the principal who sweetly agreed that I can have him in exhange for a donation to the school's christmas charity fund.

A chair in exhange for a good deed?

Well, thats what I call a good deal!!

Viv seems to like Dereck too!

He still needs a little love and attention. He is missing a screw and needs a good cleaning but soon Dereck will join his new brothers and sisters...

..to form a family of vintage chairs, just like in this picture.
