I'm pleased to see I had my head down as far as I hoped: we broke another batch of plumbata!
I thought the venue was pretty good (could have done with a veggie food stand, but then, where can't?) and staff were really friendly and helpful and the dignitaries seemed genuinely interested.
It's the re-enactors that make a joint gig for me: The Eighth were great, as always, and between us those ballistae hammered the targets into submission! I met some nice Silures there too and wished the gladiators hadn't had a prior engagement on the Sunday, so I could have seen some more of their action.
My parents were able to see it and thought it was very good. My Dad met an old footballing friend he hadn't seen in 50 years who was a real enthusiast, having 'followed the legions' all through Germany.
Great event!
