Nearing the end of the school summer holidays I did the logical thing and went to work - or, rather, to where I work, and took Jess, Joel and Callum with me to enjoy the Romans exhibition. This has proved so popular that the next exhibition has been postponed for a year so that this one can have a double length run.


Jess and Callum make mosaics, and Callum shows off the finished result.


Jess (helped by Dianne) builds an arch, while Callum prepares to knock down a wall.


Callum grinds flour, then both brothers visit the Roman loo (with authentic smells).


Callum beats me hollow at this Roman board game, while Joel and Jess have a go at making Roman jewllery.

This Roman couple don't look very happy. Is a visit to a magical place reqired?




The three of them explore Julian's Bower at Alkborough (an ancient turf maze), then Callum triumphs at reaching the centre and shows off a fossil he found.

Glad to see Julian's Bower open again. Last time we were there it was fenced off for re-turfing.
