The Roman Palace at Fishbourne, which was just across town from where I lived in Chichester, put on a day where a number of re-enactments took place - pottery and food, fine, but let's face it everyone was there for the battles.  And I just couldn't resist picking up a sword for myself.  My first, but not my last!

Visiting the British Museum in 2001, not long after the glass-roofed Great Court opened.
