decided

This morning I made one of the most expensive and challenging artistic decisions I have ever made, and against the advice of friends chose what I believe is right for the paving in my cantina. So... you wont find rustic terracotta tiles on my floor.

Over 500 years ago there would have been either wood, terracotta tiles or simply beaten earth. My excavations have shown no indication of any tiles, and as it was probably used for animals, with storage for oil and wine etc, I believe it was beaten earth below, with wooden staging above.

So... wait and see! Hopefully in about two weeks there will be something to show you :-)

Today I am grateful for a salesman who was prepared to listen my point of view.
