A book by the fire

I spent all afternoon at the beautiful Montsalvat artists' colony in Eltham today, an old medieval style castle and village, and completely forgot to take any photos.
So I thought I'd take a quick artistic shot by the fire instead.
I need to spend more time just reading, especially if I am to get through the great list of recommendations I received from my family last time I was in New Zealand.
So far enjoying A Game of Thrones, even if the author's American language sometimes shines through and feels very out of place in a clearly European-inspired world.
