Auctioneer Hettie Jago and dealer David Harper's fourth outing is all about the lakes, and the pair will be hoping that their 1980s Mercedes SL 280 convertible will cope with the challenging roads of the district. These mountains of north west England were once chock-a-block with Romantic poets. But Hettie and David are here for the antiques, not to mention the delicious cumberland sausages. Between motoring and munching, Hettie hunts for animal-themed antiques and finds equine vesta cases and Japanese netsukes in the form of crabs. But will she claw back a profit? David also tracks down a bear and an art deco figurine while making a famille rose bowl sing. Coincidentally, Hettie learns the score in the village of Sedgewick, where she explores the legacy of Victorian musical pioneer Mary Augusta Wakefield.
