Saddle Sore over a Big Book

Tash and David bounce through the south of Scotland. David spies some quirky curios, and Tash is tempted by a big-ticket tome. But will the gambles pay off at auction?

We’re bouncing through Dumfries and Galloway for the second leg of Natasha Raskin Sharp and David Harper’s transnational treasure hunt. Their antiques adventure is rolling on in style aboard their trusty 1975 Ford Bronco.

Scouring Scotland’s antiques emporia, David gets to grips with a quirky curiosity with a hidden secret, and a tiny tome that he prays will bring in big bucks at the auction. Tash is tempted by a classic bit of blue and white, and a boozy book that takes a hefty bite out of her budget. It’s a bold move, and she is not entirely sure it will pay off.

Taking a breather from the buying, the pair pedal back in time to discover an inventive local whose influence has wheeled its way around the world. But when their detour shifts up a gear, Tash and David are left saddle-sore.

As auction day arrives, will David’s number of novelties pique the bidders’ interest? And can Tash’s big-ticket tome turn a full measure of profit, or will it leave her drowning her sorrows?
