Some cracking pix here Rick, it looks a very interesting place. Your grapes and ladybird, are brilliant too.
Now, who allowed you to enter my villa? Was it the gardener? The watchman?
Nice slideshow, Rock, thanks.
Rock? Bugrit!
Ta Val, Christopher it was my friend Jemmy 🙂
It must be thirty years since I visited Fishbourne – time for a revisit I think! Many thanks for these pictures, Rick.
Bo, me too.
What I find so irritating is that they could produce such workmanship then and now one gets plastic shit from China! Try finding a workman that can plaster a wall competently! Let alone tile it!
A near impossibility!
Grrr.
Bo: I won’t be able to make it to Fishbourne this year, but plan on going to see some of the Roman sites in Trier.
Mind the bears, Christopher! 🙂
… I’m sure he’ll bear that in mind. 🙄
Janus: I’ll “bear” that in mind, but won’t be caught “bare”. I am also quite happy to be able to travel north to the happy little kingdom of Denmark to visit an old school mate of mine I haven’t seen in a number of years. Despite the terrible timing with the weather, we’ll both have free time then.
Christopher, god rejse! But mind the puddles and don’t drink the water if you’re in Copenhagen!
Thank you, Janus. I will most likely head to the Jylland, however, as that is from whence he comes.
Note for Christopher – ‘whence’ includes the ‘from’ – ie. whence means ‘from where’.
Don’t you just love pedants? Tee hee! 🙂

Oops! cometh
Bearsy: I learnt “English” in California, thus any help given in learning the language properly is much appreciated.
… and its partner, ‘whither’ contains its own ‘to’!
Quo vadis? – Whither goest thou?
I’m on a roll this evening! 😆

You seem to be doing better than Arnold anyway!
Last time I went (prior to Saturday) was 1992, since then they have a large museum and visitors centre and the garden has been kitted out with plants that could have been there in Roman times.
Strange how well built the place was compared to the stuff today.

Good one, OZ! 😀
