Mosaic floor

 It's a tv  day today. 

Already walked Mala 4,651 steps, had breakfast in bed, showered, and dressed ready to go downstairs and switch on for the king's coronation.

One of the things I shall be watching is the Mosaic floor under the coronation chair. Also known as the Cosmati Pavement. An amazing piece of workmanship from the late 1200s. 

Completed in 1286 to be precise. 

I have actually seen it during a visit to Westminster Abbey in January 2011. Follow the link:
