Don\u2019t get me wrong, I like the countryside. In fact, some of my best friends are geographical features. It\u2019s just a tricky place to operate in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Boudicca\u2019s burial site at Kings Cross\u2014remember that?\u201d <\/p>\n

We\u2019d done it as a field trip\u2014Platform 10 at Kings Cross, which was reputedly the last resting place of the woad-wearing warrior woman. We hadn\u2019t found anything, but it had led to a lively discussion about the practicalities of attaching blades to the wheels of your chariot. We got so carried away that a posh middle-aged white woman, no doubt waiting for a train, congratulated me on being an excellent father and for fostering an interest in British history in my daughter. <\/p>\n

\u201cWell done you,\u201d she\u2019d said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Abigail said she was dubious about the collection of faded sepia prints we\u2019d unearthed in the mundane library. She\u2019d done her own experiments both with her phone and a vintage Leica camera she\u2019d found inside one of the storage cupboards in the lecture theatre. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat were you even doing in there?\u201d I asked. <\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a look around,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\u201cHow did you get them developed?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a darkroom in the metal working lab.\u201d <\/p>\n

And she\u2019d taught herself photographic developing off the internet because of course she had.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
