Episode 18 'What did the Romans ever do for us?'

Monday Mar 16, 2020

It's time for another episode of 'The Bakery Bears Radio Show!'

Thanks to some truly awful weather, we're seventy two hours late with the show! But we've made it, and what a show we have in store. Before we get started though, we just wanted to mention the challenges that the world is facing at the moment. Thanks to Dans cancer journey, we have some perspective on trying to deal effectively with stressful situations. The one thing that we desperately wanted through the dark times of Dans journey, was to feel normal. So, that is what we will be doing everything in our power to bring you every two weeks, a little bit of normal. Weather permitting, the Radio Show will always be here and we will always be thinking of all of you.

In todays show we are heading out for a wet and windy walk in search of a Victorian Bandstand. Along the way we are discussing one of Dan's favourite topics, the Romans! We're pondering the that famous question posed by Monty Python in the Life of Brian, 'What did the Romans ever do for us'.

Join your hosts, Dan & Kay as they:

Discuss why they love the Romans so much
Remember Dans first exposure to a Roman archaeological site - you can read his article on this subject in this issue 19 of Knitability https://bakerybears.com/read/
