AbstractThursday178 Huddled together...

...for warmth!  
I was rather surprised (and not best pleased) to wake to a frost this morning, which while not widespread, meant that I had to spend time clearing all of my car windows before setting out before 7.30am .  Don't ask!
As the temperatures plummeted for the first time this side of Summer, I felt justified in lighting (!) 2 of our gas coal fires, for comfort as much as warmth and these provided inspiration for my abstract as well as a very tenuous link.  I took a phone shot, sent it to my laptop and used Picasa to reach the final effect.
Many thanks to   Ingeborg for continuing to host and setting such an interesting theme today.
