Pingu is clearly seen interacting with a polar bear. Pingu therefore can only be a northern hemisphere penguin - aka the great auk, aka the OG penguin.

Pingu is amongst the last survivors of a species thought to be extinct.

The powerful portrait of a male deity from a floor excavated by Tessa Verney Wheeler at VERVLAMIVM (St Albans) in 1931 now in Verulamium Museum

The inclusion of red lobster claws makes it likely this is Oceanus 🦞

We love the use of single rounded tesserae for his pupils 😍

This time next week we'll be reopen to the public!
We actually reopen on Saturday 24th January, so we'll be open on Sunday 25th.
Bus and train rides available - not necessarily this bus as it's uncomfortable when it's raining. Cake and hot chocolate in the cafe. Perfection.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Did you know that some fish can walk? 🦵🏽

It’s true - some fish walk along the sea floor using their pectoral fins as legs.
