Rain and fog

That's what we woke up to yesterday, so of course that meant it was Roman Day!

We always seem to have a visit to some roman ruins when it rains and yesterday was no different in that we went to Vindolanda.  We have been to other parts of Hadrian's Wall before and have always been allowed to have a wander around, but because they are still digging at Vindolanda (where is my human cousin Victoria when you need her - she's an archaeologist!) we weren't allowed in.  Little do they know how good a digger I am.

After visiting the Roman Army Museum, Dad took his crutches and camera (not much stops him getting a photograph) around the fort site and Mum took Murphy and me for a walk.  She managed to take this with her phone peering over the wall around the site.








Then she took this one of me - ok so it's not the real wall, but it looks a bit like it













Dad took these along with quite a few more ..
