THE HOGMOOR INCLOSURE ROMAN WALK

Just for a change from poetry, I thought I'd share with you a walk around my local area...


The entrance to the Roman Walk.





A close-up of the information panel.




A Roman Centurion's helmet (carved from wood).




A selection of carved wooden figures that are non gender specific and so denote the equality of the human race. They also embody a mixture of all races on Earth.












And, finally, the Canadian Memorial...located on the site of the old garrison church.



I hope you enjoyed...xxx


Hi guys, just to let you know I am taking a short break from blogging. I have more tests  coming up, plus we are celebrating our 40th Anniversary, so I am going to be really busy over the next week or so.
In the meanwhile...happy blogging...
and I will "see" you all again soon! xxx
