Awesome!! Are those shoes actually made from gold? That must really kill your feet. Those shoes ain't made for walkin' lol.
I think Madam would be carried by a team of burly Nubians , and not get her little golden pinkies wet!

Notice please that the subject party has a nice little roll of medial fat, not up to todays standards of course, but in this context a prime advertisment for wealth and status.

Splendid quarters.
-
How long were these nails?
I know this will be taken as a pun....but about nine inches.

::falls over:: that is GORGEOUS!!
I am gratified, I wasnt to sure.

Haha that is the very definition of "secure location"
This is an awesome shot. You mind if I do some editing with neat effects?
be my guest.

not far from your home then?

Lambeth is in London. Equivelant of what Brighton Beach or Brooklyn Heights is to Manhattan say.
Brixton/Clapham/Stockwell/Vauxhall- south of the Thames moving across Westminster Bridge .

Cute? Ay! In a nightmare maybe.
No no, Toby is all fluffy and sleepy, he just wants to bite the heads off a half dozen day old chicks and be stroked on his chin.

Your Grace:
Enjoyed your photos very much. Are all these birds native to the British Isles?
It takes a great deal of skill and patience to fly these raptors. I congratulate you on your ability.
ttfn,
Claudia
Not all, this fellow is an exception as are the Vultures- the latter being the most guileful and intelligent of all the birds, (but they need thermals to fly). To fly this particular bird the foremost requirement ,is a very strong arm!

Well , I get my Mull (usually)from Loch Fyne ( I put a link in previously) , and it is flavoursome -the growing season is short but the grass is clean , hence the cows are wonderfully healthy and the cheese is testament to it.Here is Mr Mellis' link (the shop in question):

The Mull is the splendidly coloured cheddar to the left extremity.
I say to drink: a very clean Whiskey, (Tobermorey perhaps) , a dry champagne cocktail ( no sugar), or Oyster Stout. Port is a terrible social problem in Britain , it is appallingly infra dig to have stilton with/in port -a sort of ghastly lower middle class abomination BUT a glass of white port might be deemed civilised. A fine Calvados is not to be sneered at.
Please define your terms as regards the English Keen.

Very nice set of threads on your person, Your Grace. (That IS a compliment.)
Alas, there is a straw in the Pertimaxus! Unmanly, You know! May meet with resistance from the knobby-kneed Kelts.
Most kind, the Lochiel is an almost psychedelic tartan close-up, but walk twenty paces into the heather and you are invisible, quite interesting for light purple cross hatched with pink and green. The straw was inserted by a foolish artisan, a great effeminacy! However as Ladies were present they were offered the beverage first before the foppish addition was thrown aside.

Your Grace:
Don't leave a substantial portion of the universe in darkness. Did the polloi take to the libation? Under what formal name did you introduce the potion? Was pepperoni pizza served with it? Come, come, Your Grace, let us not be neither officious nor overmuch humble. Let all out! We poor mortals are on tenterhooks!
My Word
It was served with rare Angus beef garnished with a garlic and thyme butter, Pommes Frites and a purely decorative salad in the restaurant of Harvey Nichols. It was also trialed with dressed crab and smoked trout. Both wildly diverse meals were improved by its presence. However its moment of triumph was with , Carne di Cinghiale/ crevettes/ mature stilton / best olives / rough highland oatcakes as a buffet accompaniment.
The Pertimaxus was a hit with nearby Gentlemen , but deemed a little fiery for the Ladies.

My Lord:
Are you sure that it was not a 'fatal' success?
Basil
It would be so if one were to drink , say three , in a row.

firstly, you are surely in Prince Edward Island Tartan?

moi?
Toi!
and guess who this is big cousin to? Being Titan arum ? Everyone's favourite Caesarian snack bread and spermatazoan motility enhancer!

That's great. What was it used for? I want to get inside that thing and pop it.
As you see it represents a gigantic purple quadraped which has fallen from space, and contains a bar and stage.

Indeed, but some would have doubted its existence and my sanity.
Momma Cherrie was catering:

Figures! Cato doesn't wear underwear?
Possibly a loin cloth? He mourns for the Republic does he not?

Cozy little place
Bit smelly after a night of robust wine drinking.

Wow! Those crowds are CLOSE! I didn't realize they were so close to the action.
Is this historically accurate?
That was the point of my post, we are all drilled to think of Gladiatorial combat as "big scale , big stage" but in Republican times this represents the reality. I suppose its really like a large dojo, as you know you dont need much room to have a fight !
And yes, this is an accurate reconstruction, huge resources were put into this to ensure veracity.

I knew this image would bring innocent amusement to my American Cousins.

Yes, it should be abundantly clear. I have the same little whirl of the hair at the top of my head and quite often am compelled to extend my arms and form my hands as shown.
Could I have a few trinkets and slaves from your conquest of Gaul, please?
