Enjoyment



As the season of Spring surrounds us, the lure of treasure hunting abounds...





Working for a long established auctioneer I begin to notice the frequency of barn sales, tag sales, auctions and country shows that come with the arrival of beautiful weather...



So gather your best walking shoes, light jacket, tote bag and join us for a day in the country (or the city)...

And don't forget some cash you never know what you might find...

Joy Ride


Sometimes life is like a carnival ride, spinning you all about but always ending up where you started...



Or a trip down a fast moving river tossing you hither and fro as you attempt to find a sheltered harbour...



What ever comes your way and no matter how difficult the trip eventually the river will calm...




And there will be smooth sailing once again.
Welcome to April...
