From Aug 2006 - Nov 2013 WeDig provided a live forum for diggers & fans of Vindolanda. It has now been mothballed and will be maintained as a live archive.

Here you will find preserved 7 years of conversation, photos, & knowledge about a site many people love. Vindolanda gets under the skin. (Figuratively and literally as a volunteer excavator!) It's a place you remember, filled with people you remember!

Thanks for 7 great years!

Welcome to We Dig Vindolanda!

Greetings of the season to everyone with a few cautionary notes

1/ Do not overindulge unless you want to get stuck in a 1mx1m trench.

2/ Do not use your trowel to stuff the turkey.

3/ Do not drink anything that has not been Twice Brewed.

4/ Do not forget to be kind to your slaves on Saturnalia.

I have attached an old photo of myself by way of a christmas greeting taken many moons ago at Castle Ring on Cannock Chase, Staffordshire. The snowballs weren't much good against the Romans.
Any captions?

I believe that no words could do proper justice to that pic.

Dear wedigvindolanda.com members,

All the very best to everyone for the festive season from the Vindolanda staff, we are looking forward to catching up with you next year and hope that 2008 will be a great year. Vindolanda will be closed on Christmas day, but will be open every day apart from that, 10am -4pm, so if you are about the place don't be a stranger, say hello and come in for a mince pie (for the unsuspecting Americans out there, it is a traditional savoury pie, not a mince meat effort :-) ).

best,

Andrew

Happy Christmas to everyone. I hope you all have a great festive period whatever you get up to. All best wishes for the New Year too.

Justin

PS: Maybe those Romans had it right with multiple deities........ How good would it be celebrating and gargling a small libation to a different one every other week? :P

So Justin these long cold winter evenings in front of the computer, eating curry and drinking the odd libation to the gods appeals to you then? :D I trust you include Alan Shearer, Kevin Keegan, Bobby Robson and Ant and Dec in your Pantheon? SAD! :lol:
