Some pictures of Diana and Myself, where we now live and places around us, things that we find interesting, amusing or just plain weird!

This Is Another One Of Those Good Luck Posts,
you know the type I mean, a few trinkets in a box is found after one of the owners died, but the articles are now worth a fortune, like this wood carving above that was sold for £380,000!
or this Foo dog that went for £218,000, the box was found after one of the owners Mr Tim Lewis died, his wife Fran decided to emigrate and so sold off many of the antiques they had collected in their lifetimes, it appears that some of the 50 pieces came from the time of Chinese Emporour Quainlong, others were between 250 and 800 years old, it is just a pity that their true value was not discovered till after Mr. Lewis died, but was this their true value? or was it the happy times that the couple spent together looking and finding these trinkets together?
