He and all his apple pies forgive you.

Oops 😳

You should. We're all totally sane here.

(hope you are feeling better ♥️)

As much as we'd like to, we don't think we can offer the hypocaust as some kind of "Sanity Bunker" for all of humanity.

And if we did, something tells us it may be counterproductive.

You're always first place, Merchy. 🥰

A big fat view of the north wing of Fishbourne roman palace including walkways, mosaics, and happy visitors. And crucially no insanity whatsoever.

We're happy to announce that we are the last place on earth that hasn't gone *absolutely insane* and are open for visitors.

(This is a time-limited offer)

We might have developed a new theory about what happened when we burned down first time in 280AD....

It's almost like you don't want your dragon twanged.

They certainly did! (Possibly due to the Cult of Diana).

Here's one of the original introductions: a Fallow that was born in the Balkans, imported to Britain as a live animal and died in Fishbourne. 🤓

Image shows a floor mosaic at #FishbourneRomanPalace near to #Chichester UK, where the occupants of what is a huge villa had decided to have a new floor covering (another floor mosaic) at some point, which automatically was added on top! A large surrounding margin in red-terracotta coloured tessellae, with partial upper mosaic showing an image of Medusa in a centrepiece, and mostly black and white pattern of tiles across the remainder of the floor. In the centre, the flooring shows a second layer of mosaic tiles approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the other, partially-exposed with a black and white graphical design. Below this layer appears to be the earth layer.

#MosaicMonday has come around again. Always impressed with the Romans way of doing things… this photo is showing a floor within @romanpalace.bsky.social where the first mosaic was covered over with another floor mosaic… just when you think you’ve found one, you come across its predecessor too!

Best thing about this mosaic is the medieval plough damage (the grooves cut across it from top to bottom). 🤩

We know it's modern, but *just look at it*!! 🤩😍

There's literally no reply to this that won't get us arrested. 😬

That dragon has got "Twang me" written all over it.

Is that YOUR dragon..? 🧐
