Bamboo and Boating

Episode 13 of 20

Auctioneer James Braxton and Izzie Balmer hit Shropshire in the Morris Minor for the third leg. From bamboo buys to beautiful boating, it鈥檚 a hoot.

Auctioneer whizzeroos James Braxton and Izzie Balmer are pootling around the Shropshire countryside in their 1949 Morris Minor convertible.

The soaring temperatures make Izzie plump for some cast-iron garden furniture. Her collection also includes a very delicate, sugar-pink teacup trio. The bamboo king, James, is true to form, grabbing a beloved table made from the blessed woody plant. It truly is his not-so-guilty pleasure. A sparkling arts-and-crafts-style star and some mystery boxes also fill up his swag bag of goodies. And for a lovely breather, we step into the glorious Shrewsbury countryside to learn all about the town鈥檚 19th-century boating club and the noble art of rowing.

Lest we forget, this is a competition with the heat very much turned to max. Who will win round three?
