Time to find new digs

WHEN Dr Paul Robinson retires as curator of Wiltshire Heritage Museum in Devizes next month, he will not say goodbye to archaeology.

"I can't do nothing, but I don't know what I will do yet. It certainly won't be gardening and decorating," said Dr Robinson, who will shortly be 65. The Devizes museum has been his life for 34 years.

How about going on archaeological digs? "I hadn't thought of that," he said, "but not in this country. Perhaps Greece or Egypt. That would be very exciting."
