Enjoyed the pictures, too, (although not the scent!) but the tiles were the highlight, for me.<br />Very grateful to you as I hadn't heard of the museum before your blog!Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234975039675044712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-4379939141749159552014-12-09T20:15:43.339+00:002014-12-09T20:15:43.339+00:00I adore Leighton House - and Alma-Tadema!

I'd heard of it, but never been - what great chance to see it in its glory... As for Alma Tadema, I have to confess to a sneaking liking for his work, overblown as it may seem to modern tastes. I actually have a signed print of one of his Roman ladies, gazing into a pool of goldfish, which my mother bought me as a 'passing my 'O' levels' present (which shows how long ago it was). Thanks for this enjoyable piece, Caroline.Christina Koninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275312730534980490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-22256591055325584772014-12-09T06:48:46.808+00:002014-12-09T06:48:46.808+00:00A hazelnut barge explosion?
