ANTIQUES Road Trip specialist Izzie Balmer has taken full advantage of the warm weather this week.
The BBC auctioneer and valuer shared a snap on her social media wearing a black and white print dress while showing off her garden as she enjoyed a summer drink.

Captioning the smiley photo, Izzie said: “Summer evening drinks in the sunshine with friends. What drink would you choose?”
The post received over 2,500 likes from her followers, with many offering their summer drink of choice.
Izzie also shared a selection of photos of the food and drink she and her friends were partaking in.
Starting off her day of fun early she shared a photo of a glorious brunch spread and said: “Round One. The most delicious bread from @forgebakehouse thickly spread with butter was probably the highlight. You just can’t beat freshly baked bread. I really could get used to this alfresco dining in the sunshine!”
She also enjoyed pastries and colourful cocktails, which she of course posted online so her 16,500 Instagram followers could see.
Izzie joined the show in 2019 during its ninth series, where she joined the likes of fellow antique enthusiasts Charles Hanson, Philip Surrell and James Braxton.
Recently, her skills fell short on the show as an item she was sure would fetch a hefty price at auction barely managed to break even.
Thinking she spotted an Art Nouveau vase that she believed was “Christopher Dresser” in its style, she proudly bartered the price down from £75 to £60.
She said: “This sort of item used to do so well – it used to be really popular, which is why I bought it.
“I sort of hoped it might be a Christopher Dresser design or similar.”
However, at auction, she only managed to claw back her £60; despite the setback, she emerged victorious in that episode and beat antiquer, Ishy Khan.
When she is not busy on the show, Izzie works as a head valuer at the Wessex Auction rooms in Wiltshire.
Antiques Road Trip airs on BBC One at 3.45pm and is available on BBC iPlayer.
