On Pompeii's Houses and Gardens

Another late entry - this is talking about Monday morning... We had another charity event on in our church hall, profits towards The Children's Society, and I was responsible for the card stall (also gift wrap and advent calendars...), while the main event was a talk about The Houses and Gardens of Pompeii, followed by a light lunch of soup and cheese board. The talk was quite interesting - at least for me because I've always been interested in things Roman and Pompeii/Herculaneum is one place I've never been but would love to see... Italy as a whole is big on my list of "wannados"! Shame that the person who did the talk was a bit to scholarly about it and at times it was rather lame and filled with probably too much detail, but still a good topic and a good turnout of about 50 people, which of course made a good donation to the charity...

Today's LO then is something Roman, and since I haven't been to Pompeii, here is a contribution from Aquae Sulis (Roman Bath in good old England where I visited with my mother a couple of years ago).

This is the introduction page: it's done on Club Scrap "Wings" paper with HOTP alphas and a 7Gs index tab (the "P" is for "pull" because there is a sheet about the history of the baths hidden behind the photo board). The bit on the right is the official brochure of the Roman Baths which are an absolutely fascinating place to explore!

The double page is about the museum adjacent to the Baths. The hot spring feeding the baths, as well as the overflow outlet, can be seen within the museum, which I thought was rather unique. There are also models and drawings of Aquae Sulis and all kinds of things found during the excavations... This is Club Scrap "Wings" paper again together with a Design Classic of the "Music and Fine Arts" kit which had the perfect Roman pillars...
