Hi
I have returned and just about thawed out! While glad I was not wearing kit sitting about all day gets pretty cold!
it reminded me of the early scenes in 'Carry on Cleo' when Caesar's ADC says to Caesar, who is sitting miserably in a rain lashed tent with his feet in a bowl of hot water, that "there is a messenger without". To which Caesar replies 'if we stay in this country much longer we will all be without!!!"
As Kevin said, full marks to all those who turned up and took part in the event. In spite of everything and missing the main parade and the Saturday Gladiator show, I really enjoyed it and even sold some prints and cards. I was pleased to see one of my paintings enlarged on a banner for the Roman Fort Project, if you are not using it again guys I would really like it!!!
There seemed to be lots of leg wrappings. Have I started a trend? Do people really read my books?
It was nice to meet old friends and some new ones.
I have asked Robert to post some of my photos.
