The English really are something!!!!!

[Paullus Scipio]

Thanks guys! The house was 20 years in the planning , design and building ( all done by us - me and my wife Maria ) - the major influences, as you can see, were the 'House of the Faun' and other villas from Pompeii, and the Pool layout ( it is not just decorative, but doubles as a swimming pool) is of course a mini-version of Hadrians villa at Tivoli.....on a much more modest scale - the colours are authentic too ( even the bright blue! ).
"Sean" actually was made in Pompeii from the original ( now in the Naples museo) ...getting him home from Pompeii as 'hand luggage' - he was too precious for the hold - was a real saga, since he is solid bronze....
I'm a little embarrassed to admit my Greek/Roman obsession so publicly... but if you like what you see, then I'm not so bad !!

Of course, there is a nice guest-room with views to the sea right beside that pool for any of you guys who might be inclined to visit 'Brizvegas a.k.a 'Godzone'.......... I have some more thumbnails if you are interested.....
