Granite, an igneous rock, contains no fossils. Those are reserved for sedimentary or, less commonly, metamorphous rocks. — In case you wish to be painfully correct…

You are a lucky man indeed

GA, another great peek into the grandeur of London, and so well preserved.

“… the lavish panelled Drawing Room in the French style with its lush crimson carpet proposes a worthy stand-in for Buckingham Palace in many recent films, and exists just on the right side of garish.”

It does look familiar. Could it be “The Crown”?

I wonder if anyone told the sculptor that Richard II was a beardless 33-year-old when he died. The artistic licence seems a little stretched (or perhaps it was a cancelled order – King Lud? – that he managed to offload on the Goldsmiths).
