Fishbourne Celtic Day

The Roman Palace at Fishbourne, which was just across town from where I lived in Chichester, put on a day where a number of re-enactments took place - pottery and food, fine, but let's face it everyone was there for the battles.  And I just couldn't resist picking up a sword for myself.  My first, but not my last!

One of the largest villas found in the UK, and some of the earliest gardens, it was found by someone digging a hole for a new water main.  Now it's a mix of preserved mosaic floors, and recreated gardens.

I also went to the Celtic day there later on.
