A pig farmer who moved into a caravan due to unfortunate circumstances after his partner died has been using his mobile home to store his art collection.
According to BBC News, David Pike used an interest-free loan scheme set up by the Arts Council to fund his artistic purchases.
His favourite is a Peter Howsen piece which he explained he bought as it reflected the intensity and gentleness of his own personality.
Mr Pike revealed that he used to own the period farmhouse which he can see from his caravan window, but was forced to sell it and some of his land after his partner Janice passed away.
However, he intends to build a log cabin on the land he has retained, which will give him room to display all his purchases.
The pig farmer is one of 12,500 Brits to have taken advantage of the Arts Council initiative to fund otherwise impossible purchases, the online resource revealed.
Meanwhile, the Guardian has reported that 11 people were rescued from flooded caravans in Yorkshire on Sunday (November 30th).
