A few days after we came back from Scotland I ran three workshops at the museum. They were archaeology workshops, bascially about mudlarking, which I have mentioned before. We have a reconstructed beach/foreshore area in the children's gallery, in which I planted some 90 artefacts such as pottery pieces, clay pipes etc. The kids then had to find these artefacts and identify them and date them using large books we have.

All three sessions went well. In one of the sessions I asked the kids if they had any questions for me. One kid puts up his hand and asks.....

"How come you know so much?"

Best question ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made me feel on top of the world.
