Massive

On Thursday morning, Tony and the Red-Headed Laddie sat down with cameras and computers and looked at all the photographs they took on our Roman Wall day. The RHL enjoyed looking at pictures of himself with shield, sword, etc, (other way, sweetie), but there was something he was looking forward to more. 'Next one... is it the next one...' and finally, 'WOW!' And he just stared again at the view that had taken his breath away the day before.

The picture he'd been waiting for wasn't one of himself, or his family, or of an English Heritage worker dressed up as a Roman Officer.

It was one of these (if I've uploaded them successfully). It reminds me of something we all need to know about children - they need wonder. They need something bigger than they are, bigger than a screen, bigger than four walls. They need big, breathy spaces. They need to see something massive. Something that makes them say 'WOW'!
