…Piddington Museum really is fab. Just back from a delightful evening chatting with a small group whilst surrounded by wonderful displays of finds from the dig in the village. As ever, I’m grateful to everyone who was kind enough to turn up and to Caroline, Liz and Roy for organising the event, plus catering that included real cakes.

There’s very little about the museum on the net and I was so busy gassing and admiring their new set of loan boxes for schools (very cheap to hire and full of fascinating things, including a set of replica Roman armour to fit a 9-year-old) that I forgot to take any photos. So you’ll just have to take my word for it – sorry.

If you’re around the Northampton (UK) area on a Sunday afternoon, the Museum is currently open 2-5 pm and this is where to find it.
