Yesterday the Antiques Roadshow recorded at the British Museum. Although neither Mark Hill nor I was on the rota of experts we decided to pop along at the end of the day, as our office is just around the corner from the museum. We bumped into Will Farmer of Fielding's the auctioneers and Katy from our office took our picture outside the museum.

 Following my post about how interesting it is to see how people display their colectables I had an email from my friend Christine who lives in the Scottish Borders. She is on holiday on the Devon/Somerset border, not very far from Porlock Weir in fact, staying at her friend Jane's manor house and she sent me this picture of how she displays her collection  of 19th century glass. It makes for such an attractive display don't you think?

. . . some wedding photos. I'm afraid these are not the best, although I really like this picture of Cara and Billy. I'm afraid our photos all went a little wrong, so the one of me is captured from a video. Still, these are just a teaser! We will have some 'proper photos' in about a week.

 . . .it's off to work I go. I had a lovely long bank holiday weekend that was even more appreciated after the build up to Cara's wedding and the festivities themselves. 

No it's not where I'm working this week but I thought I'd give you due warning about next week's Antiques Roadshow which is taking place at Blair Castle, Blair Atholl in Perthshire on Thursday 9 September. The doors open at 9.30 am and as usual admission is free. I'll be there which makes me very happy as it means a trip home to Scotland, You can find out more details HERE

 I was visiting a friend's house recently and was very taken with her imaginative display of her collection of silver spoons. It is good not just to collect but to show things off as well. What's the point of keeping them in a cupboard or a drawer out of sight? I would love to hear how you display your collections in a different and imaginative ways, Apologies about the quality of the photo, but all I had was my phone to take the picture; it was a dark room and a dull day
