December 31, 2008 found wonderdread, Geoff Ryman and me trundling around Minster Lovell Hall in the Cotswolds, thanks to Geoff.

The ruins date back to the 15th Century. The first photo above was my first sight of them.
It was a blistering cold morning; the first frost I've encountered since coming to the U.K. at the beginning of December. It was the kind of frost that makes the outdoors look candied. I kept wanting to pop leaves into my mouth and crunch on them.
