We’re at Huntingdon Carnival today with our publicity stand - come and say hello, handle some replica artefacts and take part in our family craft activity! 😀

Our Civil War Soldiers are on Market Square in Huntingdon until 3pm today! Drop by to say hi, try on replica armour, and take part in training and craft activities before being recruited into the New Modelled Army.

Waiting for the Eurostar home, great trip thanks to lovely archives at the Arsenal, Jesuits and Le Havre ….signing off with one of the coolest bath room tiles I have ever had!

Been doing it since my first French lesson which rather worryingly is over half a century ago.
