Roman Glass Research Project

 Although I made good progress last week, and have now gone through more than half  the glass, various other activities  (mostly singing) took up all my spare time  and I failed to write this diary.     

 This week  started very well and by Tuesday I only had about another 600 ‘accessions’ to sort and record, but I was then struck down with a nasty flu-like bug which is doing the rounds. Two days in bed, unable even to watch daytime TV!  And delirious dreams about monstrous glass moils are not to be recommended!    

At least I have got over the worst of it now, but I was sorry to miss a reception held at the Museum for our clients and sponsors,  for which I had prepared a display of the glass from Basinghall Street – and it  looks very impressive presented all together in this way.  My colleagues very kindly arranged it all for me and stood in for me on the night – I am hoping that someone took a photograph.

Back at my desk now, and trying to catch up a little before the holiday –back on January 2nd  ….    A very happy Christmas and New Year ….
