Phew – what a busy day! I’ve just got back from today’s Antiques Roadshow at the beautiful Hatfield House in Hertfordshire. For once, the location was within easy striking distance from home, so I was able to come back to relax tonight. However, I’ll miss discussing the exciting treasures everyone unearthed across the day over dinner with my colleagues and friends. Despite the wind being strong and gusty, and the threat of rain, thousands turned up once again and kept us all busy with interesting stories and fabulous or fascinating (and often both!) objects.
I managed to film three things today, comprising a collection, a single piece of ceramic, and a very interesting and unique item. What were they? Well, you’ll have to tune in this autumn to see. As ever, I enjoyed every moment of what was a very long day – and the last Roadshow I’m involved in before the Summer break. My next, and final, Roadshow for this series isn’t so close to home though, as it’s in Blair Castle near Pitlochry in Scotland!
