Image captionA family spending lockdown living in a Roman Fort have described it as a"surreal experience".
The couple thought they and their sons Oliver, 15, and Luke, 13, would only be there for three or four weeks. Usually this would be the busiest time of the year at the fort near Hadrian's Wall, with hundreds of visitors and would-be archaeologists booked in to take part in digs. Most of the site's 40 staff have been furloughed and she and her husband, deputy CEO at the Vindolanda Trust, took the decision to decamp the family as well as pet labradoodle Eric and cat Bramble to live in accommodation on site where volunteer diggers would usually stay.

So they left their home after lockdown to go and live in a second home?
How wonderful

We LOVED Vindolanda when we visited, this makes me want to visit again. Well played, BBC.
How I read it was stay at home, not stay at your nearest Roman fort protecting it from badgers
Beautiful place! And to Sonya and Colin! Can you give a wave to my 90 year old father and 81 year old mother who live over the other side of Barcombe Fell to the south in Thorngrafton and send my love. I hope to see them again when this ends! 🙏
Italians should feel awfully guilty about how they invaded, murdered, raped and brutalised our island. That's what empires do, is it not?
