The Travelling Auctioneers

A former diplomat has decided to retreat to the Suffolk coast for peaceful retirement, though his home is filled with treasures picked up from exotic places around the world that need to be sold before the downsize. For Gavin, his 42 years in the Foreign Office led his family on a remarkable adventure in 15 different countries. Now his children are adults and forging their own careers, Gavin hopes money made at auction will help them on their way. Auctioneer Christina Trevanion finds mementos from Russia and is intrigued by a collection of postcards and medals. Restorer JJ Chalmers works his wonders on an antique from China
