Today Sunday 31st May we visited Chedworth Roman Villa in the Cotswolds. Many fine mosaic floors remain intact in the ruins of the Villa.

The Villa was rediscovered in the Victorian Era and has now  been extensively excavated. Here is the remains of the underfloor heating system in the bathhouse.

When the Romans settled in Britain 2000 years ago they brought with them their own favourite edible snails. These have survived on this site despite the Romans being long gone

.

From Chedworth we moved on to the Cotswold village of Broadway which could be described as being on the dangerous side of cute.

The chief watering hole here is the Lygon Arms. It's the sort of place that you could easily bump into the PM and Sam Cam having "supper" with their pals Rebecca Brooks and Andy Coulson (assuming Andy's out of jail by now).

By contrast the Richards - Haworth family is spending the night in less salubrious surroundings in the Long Stay Car Park next to the recycling bins.
