We were invaded today by the Roman Army who set up camp in the museum garden.

They captured some slaves - a practice which, under the circumstances, one can only approve and which I feel should be adopted in classrooms up and down the country.

In the meantime visitors to the museum were constructing catapults, making pots, making jewellery, and enjoying a wide variety of activities before and after a hog roast. It was here that we Romano-British ladies came into our own serving those authentic Roman drinks tea, coffee and chocolate.
This is the day's youngest visitor - six week old Strawberry, photographed (with parental permission) with her owners.

Strawberry is enjoying some morsels from the hog roast, which she washed down with one of those individual containers of milk.
