Just a reminder that the closing date for this is 10th March. Can I just say how lucky anyone would be to work at the History Centre – the staff are amazing and have given me a fantastic send-off with tea and some of the best cake in the western hemisphere! Wiltshire is a beautiful place to live, too. Thanks very much.
