Our last sale at Bampton and an end to southrop auctions , our meaning Trish and I as it’s always been a team of the 2 of us from the beginning since we met 20 years ago and a casual remark when I was considering taking over the auction that she would help me sealed a working relationship that made the auction such a success , a special thankyou to all the vendors over the years that trusted us with their wares and all the many many buyers that have supported us over the years , special thanks must go to long standing customers whom became special auction friends , Lynn , Alison , Trevor and Sue , for making our last sale memorable , Lynn’s very touching speech , Alison for presenting such a thiughtdul cake from them all , and Sue for presenting Trish with flowers and Trevor always there supporting with his kindness and help and always there when I had something I couldn’t sell it was always Trev and he smile put his thumb up and take it awy for me 😉 , Thankyou to everyone over the years and as someone says the laughs , because everyone put up with my insults in the best humour possible over the years and my fashion parades 😉 love and best wishes to you all , sincerest regards Andrew x
