Chiltern Open Air Museum.

Shepherd and lamb

Today we went to the Chiltern Open Air Museum, and I got to pet this little lamb! He is ten days old! Bless!

We also saw an encampment of the Romano-British re-enactment Group, the Vicus.

As you might expect, I very much enjoyed the fashion show. Lots of tunics! And a demonstration of toga wrapping. I’ve taken lots and lots of pictures, and I had a very interesting chat with the Romans about the benefits of wearing loosely woven wool cloth in this hot weather. Cooler than you might think, apparently.

After the demonstration was over, I asked a group of Romans to pose, so I could take photos of their shoes.

As you do.

(If you’re me.)

Socks with sandals – shocking.
I’m very tempted to have a go at making a pair of those boots though.
