Very much looking forward to spending the day at Corbridge Roman Site this Saturday (6th September). This is where Book 2 is set, and it’s always a joy to visit.

If you’re near Hadrian’s Wall this weekend, come over and say hello any time between 11 and 4. The Roman site and museum are brilliant, so I won’t be the only interesting old thing to look at when you get there.

Dug (the reconstructed Iron Age Man) is also hoping to make the trip. Who knows? Maybe it’ll cheer him up a bit.
