What Did The Romans Ever Do For Us?
On Saturday we drove over to Bignor to have a look round the Roman Villa there. I have not been since I was at primary school. I am happy to report that it is exactly the same as it was then!!! The first Mosaic was discovered by a ploughman in 1811, and the villa dates back to 200AD.
Behind Vic and the children is the mosaic in the North Corridor that has been restored.
Them Romans were a clever bunch.
A couple of the mosaics (like this one) are exactly as they were when first discovered, hence the subsidence.
We left the villa and headed up Bignor Hill for a walk and play in the woods.
And on the way home stopped at The Bridge in Amberly for a late lunch.
I have many fond memories of this pub from my childhood!! It's funny to think that this was the first time I had actually been in it!

What fun - I remember dropping you and Dad off and picking you up when you used to camp on the Downs - seems like yesterday!
