When I worked at English Heritage in the early 1990s in the editors' room my colleague Margaret worked on 'Wroxeter' for the entire three years of my emplyment, barricaded behind a desk-cliff of books, mightily wroth with the finds reports, the reconstruction drawing captions, perpetually awaiting the fiddly soils and C14 and ceramics reports. It was a killer excavation monograph, but I don't think it did her in, I think she reached retirement.
Thanks for this, Kate! I’m immensely grateful to Margaret and all her colleagues. I’m so enjoying bringing Viroconium to life in my new series. Glad to hear she survived.
Which doesn't stop me being MADLY JEALOUS of you getting to go to Pompeii. You must bring back all possible photos for us. I've seen all the professional ones, but holiday snaps have a different charm to them, and a different emphasis.

So happy about the new books coming.

Will do. Just for you, Sally…
Congratulations on the exciting news. I have never been to Wroxeter, now I need to go!
Wear big boots! If you can time your trip to coincide with a performance by the Ermine Street Guard, even better.
