The Wall

We’ve had a good amount of early snow this year which partially explains my lack of activity. Spending Christmas in North England allowed us to visit Hadrians wall – what was the most fortified border in the Roman Empire. The build quality is very impressive given that it is almost 2000 years old. A lot of pride was obviously taken by the work force – stone-cutters initials on show, sporadically, amongst the bricks. I can’t place the drawing I did at the wall so I give you a little sketch from the village of Corbridge.
