Yes, not a bigger sale, actually quite a small one. We saw the add, "Antiques and Crafts sale. Valuations on site", Municipal Building, Biggar. Ah, we thought, here is a Saturday outing for us, only about 35 miles away, to be honest it seemed more than that, I got lost down a farm track, she thought that I had done it on purpose, I said, I only do that when it's dark.
Biggar Municipal Building.
It turned out good, Hazel took an 1895 Doulton statuette of a female roman warrior, she bought it a couple of years ago for £200, the expert valued it at between £600 and £800 and maybe more if two bidders were wanting it. Result for her. They reckoned that my silver snuff box was worth about £40. Huh, what do experts know.
Stopped on the way home at a cemetery in Lanark, we just like looking around at the grave stones, many were well worn away but we did spot one from 1752. There was a church in the grounds,
Church in Lanark cemetery.
The church and grounds are being looked after beautifully by South Lanarkshire Council, and we will return again when we have more time.
