The excavation of a Roman fort at Healam Bridge and the attached industrial zone produced some remarkable discoveries, including the footprints of a child playing alongside the road that led into the fortress.

Ah, yes. The long awaited evidence that Romano-British children had feet.
Nice article though, skips past the feet and onto the interesting stuff swiftly.

Just proves playing on the road is not a new thing. I was caught jumping out in front of traffic to see how fast vehicles could stop...perhaps it is the same thing?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

I was there, working on that site! Emily Eastwood spotted the footprints, as we were stripping back the deposits. She is a credit to any site she works on (employers take note!), and eagle eyed to boot! :face-approve:

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
