Villa Romana de Casale and Morgantina
The mosaics at the Villa Romana are most impressive. One is about 30 yards long and even a Philistine like me can appreciate the craft and the detail. Some took 60 years to complete, or, in the new unit of extended time, 240 campervan holidays.
Our children, however, were more concerned with how much loot they could extract from the various stallholders that line the entry road. The final count was one teddy, one rose and one fridge magnet. All for the price of a hair tousle.
Maddie's cup flow'ed over in the evening when, as he was leaving, Grandad handed over an early birthday present. A REVERSIBLE Snow White / Sleeping Beauty dress. Or, as it is made of nylon and twice the thickness of a single dress, it might be more appropriate to call it a Sweating Beauty dress.
