	Just wanted to share. Popped into B'ham Museum the other day to see the Saxon hoard exhibition. It's small (not surprisingly as this is just a selection, and apparently the total of 4000 fragments would fit in a carrier bag!), but WOW. Stunning. I know it sounds soft, but I shed tear or two, it was so moving. And this is a woman who cries about once every 5 years. Well worth a visit. Jan x

	Glad you were able to see it. So often significant exhibitions tend to be London based. :-)
