My sister and I attended the event in September last year. The series has always been a favourite of mine over the years and since my sister (another fan) was visiting while it was being shot we decided to go along. We were a bit stuck about what to take at first, since I don't have many antiques! But then I thought of the watercolour I bought over the Isles of Scilly a few years ago, a view of the steps in Tresco garden. It was painted in the early 20th century by one of the family who lived on Tresco, and I bought it in an exhibition they were holding to raise money for the upkeep of the gardens. So we packaged it up with blankets and set off in the afternoon when it was dry. We didn't fancy waiting in the rain and since we were outside for a couple of hours it was just as well we were later. Once we were inside the wait was more interesting since the line wended its way around the various stands and displays - hence my ogling at the dragonfly. Although, I wasn't an official ogler. When they have a piece that's going to be shot, they ask members of the crowd to stand round and look interested.
A bit of antiquity
