Repair
One of my favourite TV shows is a BBC program called The Repair Shop. All sorts of items are brought in for restoration – some neglected, some broken, many simply worn down by the passage of time. Each has a story and is wrapped in poignant memories and each is lovingly restored by highly skilled experts. This is like so many things in life, which may be worse for wear, but can almost always be repaired. The point is not to try to make them new again, but rather to make them functional, to revive and extend their life.
