You might enjoy a look at this link if you haven't been there.
The best thing, I thought, were the letters of the Roman Soldiers back home to their Mum's asking them to send warm socks.......it must have seemed like Siberia to them.
I also have a few of OH and me at Pmpeii. We were very privilidged because we went at the end of a cool and wet day and got the site to ourselves almost.
I'll post them on here if any of you haven't seen Pompeii and would be interested. Just let me know, otherwise I wont inflict them as we are not the best photographers in the World, in fact we are probably the worst.:O |
Please post them up Penelope, they will be interesting to look at. We have been talking of a drive to Northumberland, probably on a clear frosty type of wintry day. So any information would be helpful to us.
Thanks a lot in advance.
I'll check out the
Vindolanda site you have linked up to later on as well.
Cheers
