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.
