I watch a local auction house occasionally, not buying much – I maybe find a thing to bid on every couple of years. I'm wary of accumulating junk, especially as auctions are online now rather than in person.

Last night I managed to have the winning bid on an attractive framed AJ Casson print that would look nice on our wall.

Excited to see it. Fingers crossed that it's in good shape as photos suggest. We're big fans of #GroupOfSeven artists.
