At a separate event on the same day, Barbara will be running an informal tour of Vindolanda and the Chesterholm Museum, helped by Catherine Jarvis, a qualified guide and Minimus Latin teacher. The tour will commence at 3pm meeting just inside the West Gate of Vindolanda in the courtyard. Please look at www.vindolanda.com for more information on admission prices (normal prices will apply), access and layout of the site.
Look forward to seeing you at both events if possible!
Must rush as redecorating the B&B in time for the new season and Barbara's visit and have a paintbrush in my other hand!
vale! valete! bye for now! Catherine/Hadriana :-)
