Episode 23 of 25

Izzie Balmer and James Braxton pilot their classic car to north Wales, where they become avian admirers, nautical navigators and go bonkers for bamboo.

It鈥檚 the third outing for Izzie Balmer and James Braxton, who have pointed their sports car along the roads less travelled to north Wales. Stops include the historic island of Anglesey, with unspoilt beaches, picturesque villages and antiques shops ready to be explored.

James sticks to what he loves when he shops and buys yet more bamboo - this time a jardini猫re stand. He also picks up a sweet pair of bonbon dishes dating from 1896. Rival Izzie plumps for a novelty money box in the form of a pigeon, which she hopes will fly at auction. However, Izzie鈥檚 biggest spend is on a 19th-century tramp art box. Will bidders be as attracted to it?

Izzie detours from the shops to visit a sleeping copper giant, while James rides the rails on the Great Orme Tramway in Llandudno.

The pair park up in pretty Portmeirion and watch the auction from afar as their buys go under the gavel in Warwickshire.
