Gesta Londinii

| There are few more rewarding things which I do in the course of my work, than teaching poetry to older children. Today we started work on a poem calle... |

Welcome to my domus. Its nice to see you again. Or if we haven't met, thanks for popping by to check out my villa here.
| <____________ Salve ____________ | This is boastful, I know, but I did win one of these coveted awards back in A.S.
Please, make yourself comfortable.
If you were a regular visitor in AS you may remember my aged retainer, Obi-Wan-Kenobus. Alas , the old fellow has passed away. Oh, no - he hasn't died. I mean he passed away one night when I forgot to lock the slaves' quarters. Last seen heading rapidly in the direction of Brindusium, so I've been told.
| My servant Ridiculus will provide you with the finest Falernian which my new cellar can offer. I'm not a hard drinker myself - actually, I find it very easy. | |
Drink a toast, who gives a damn
Its the drink that takes the man,
First the mind, and then the heart
Rips your vital soul apart
Leaves you gasping on the floor,
Overfull, yet craving more,
Let wine flow, a blushing river
Never mind your dying liver
Raise a toast, and drink it whole
To the demon alcohol. --------

 | Now, as my name implies, I am a native of the city of Londinium in Britannia. If you would like to learn a little more about the history of this great city, try visiting the website of the fabulous Museum of London.
Just click on the city's coat of arms . |

| Alternatively - I do live in Wales now, and maybe you would like to learn a little about my adopted country. If so , just click on the flag | |
 Do you like my background ? Inspired by Fishbourne Roman Palace. A fine site in the English County of West Sussex. Well worth a visi if you happen to be in the area. Or better still, why not visit now ? Just click on the name below.
Make sure to tell them that Londi sent you.
Perhaps I should come clean. I do have something of a split personality - something not unusual for one born under the sign of Gemini I suppose. If you would like to visit my alter egos in
Then just click on the city and that ole Londi magic will whisk you away.
Well, actually, to come clean with you, I do have a couple of other secret identities, but I'm not quite prepared to share these with the rest of the world just yet. Keep guessing !
Me ? Just a humble poet trying to scratch out a living. Fact is, the name of Londinius is none to sweet in Rome at the moment,due to some rather rather amusing verses I composed about the emperor not so long ago.
Well, I can't stand here talking all day. Please feel free to stay as long as you like. All I ask is that you don't visit any of the other rooms until I've done some decorating - Cambrinia and the kids would never forgive me otherwise.
