Mummy and I went to Chedworth Roman Villa. We are staying in a camp site really nearby. There is the Fosse way next to our campsite and that use to be a Roman road. Mummy said Roman solider ghost might march on the Roman road so all I would see would be the top of their bodies but she is just talking nonsense.

I liked the Roman snails best. The Romans used to keep them at the villa to eat and their babies are still crawling about. They are huge!

This is a Roman wax tablet that children use to write on at school. You scratch your work into the wax with a stylus.

This is a sponge on a stick. It is a real sponge from the ocean not a fake one. You had to dip it in the water and then use it to wash your bottom!

This is a sinistra which is a musical instrument that you shake to make the long bits rattle.

This is 9 mens morris which is a game I like to play and today I found out it is a Roman game!

This is a funny foot ice cream Mummy brought me. It is an old one that she used to eat when she was little.

The Roman villa was great fun. I liked learning about making thread from wool and how to dye and knit it from Roman Sue. She was not a real Roman lady just a lady pretending to be Roman who knew loads of stuff about Roman times. I would like to try and make woad dye like she explained to me. First I need woad plants and they are like cabbage. Then I boil them in old wee for 3 days with ash! But it is worth it because the dye is blue!

Mummy and I are camping. This it a tiny millipede that was in my shower at the campsite. At first I thought it was a leech and I don’t like them but millipede are cute!
