Plus, you are not paid for your time as a volunteer. If they were going to interview me, I would say this to them: "Sorry mate, beggars can't be choosers. I don't play second fiddle!" ;) There’s a lot of red tape to volunteer at Inronbridge!

I always wanted to volunteer at Attingham but I did briefly consider volunteering at the Ironbridge museums when there were no volunteering opportunities available at Attingham. I needed to have two references before I could volunteer at Ironbridge. I was able to get them but it seemed a bit of a faff and I didn't get round to it. Then my other volunteering opportunities slipped neatly into place. Sadly for you neither of them involve me being a bank lady...

Are you going to jump ship? ;) I hope to see you at Blists Hill one day! You know they actually issue their own "money" there? So I guess, you can be my bank lady. Yes, I did!

I have not been to Leighton House. Have you seen that the National Trust is in the process of taking custodianship and responsibility for the museums that are currently under the care of The Ironbridge Museums Trust?

I mean I have Art Pass, have they not contributed enough for me to join them freely? ;) Oh have you been to Leighton House in London? There's a small Arab room in the house too.

I will certainly find closer images easily, so thank you for the heads up. The Arab Room looks rather spectacular, but I cannot see the Egyptian influence from this far away.
