Series 2: 14. The Garden of England

Widow Suzette needs to make urgent repairs to her Margate home. To fund the costly works, she wants to clear out items she collected with her late husband over their 30-year marriage. \n\nSuzette’s neglected home needs a garage roof replaced and her bedroom shower removed. She hopes selling items from her past will help to build a more comfortable future. Now is the time, two years since losing her husband, for Suzette to empty the wardrobe of his clothes and sell the expensive watch she gave him as a birthday gift. \n\nAuctioneer Izzie Balmer finds a silver hoard in a dining room cabinet and two oil paintings that will attract bidders. A rare 1920s sequinned dress offers a snapshot of the Roaring Twenties and is sure to cause a flap on auction day.\n\nTime is ticking for restoration expert Robin Johnson as he sets about fixing a clock with high sentimental value for Suzette. An old, sun-bleached pine trunk catches Robin's eye. To bring it back to life, he must use a very surprising hack that works wonders on wood. Also, a local textile expert stops by to save an unusual light fitting. \n\nAn auction in the Garden of England sees Izzie swinging her gavel in front of a landmark building amongst the blooming beauty, with the crowd enjoying the sun and atmosphere as objects from Suzette’s past sell to the highest bidder.\n
