A top treasure hunter? Not half,
Who often could do with a bath
Who shoots from the hip,
Is a whizz with a whip,
Archaeologist? Don't make me laugh.
You have to take inspiration where you can get it. In this case, having finished my series of trams and trains. I was watching "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with my grandson, and there was inspiration. I love the Indiana Jones films ( apart from Temple of Doom) I even like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and those of us willing to admit this are a small but select band. How much do I love them? Well, two or even three years ago there was an exhibition in the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff, which was aimed at getting kids excited about archaeology. As a lure they had a small number of exhibits from the films - a hat, jacket and whip, and the actual crystal skull (or one of them, at least) used in the film. I went the day the exhibition opened.
