About Antiques Road Trip Season 25, Episode 12 : Episode 12

It's the second leg for Margie Cooper and Tim Medhurst, as they tour the Lake District looking for bargains to take to auction. Fortunately, their conveyance of choice is a 1970s camper van, so there's plenty of room for any outsized acquisitions.Margie's approach to shopping sees her pick up items from around the world, including a French carriage clock, a Chinese pepperette and, closer to home, a candlestick from Derbyshire. Tim, however, falls in love with the image of a Victorian woman, though his Victorian horse toy could make for a bumpy ride at auction.As well as seeing a lot of glorious countryside, they find out about the mysterious St Bees Man who, after 650 or so years, has shared many secrets of our medieval ancestors. There's also a chance to descend the hills to hear about Windermere carp and their importance to the waters in which they swim, and to hungry locals in times past.Diamonds are Margie's best friend when her bargain buy goes under the gavel at the auction in Stroud.
