The other villa 1

At some point last week we visited the other Roman Villa in the Isle of Wight, the one in Newport.

I was pleased to see that they still had the dormouse fattening pot, although not so pleased that I remembered it as being as being a lot smaller and flower pot red all over, rather than mostly grey. I think the idea was that the dormouse lived in the pot until he or she had grown to an eating size and was then (I suppose) removed to another pot for cooking. What about lids to stop them getting out?

To be fair, we last visited this particular Villa some years ago and it is possible that the display has been changed in the interval.
