@JonCG_novelist @spechorizons @tomhpollock I,C feels very much like a piece of theatre.
@SpecHorizons @tomhpollock ah, Rome. Easily the best series for years. Watching I, Claudius at mo; not nearly as dramatic, but potent stuff.
@Leiali I wish!
@nigauw Never got to the Triple Wood. Really want to try the Cask Strength ones as they're meant to be legendary...
@DougHulick But Laphroaig and Bowmore both combine the good and the consistent, which is reassuring when you're out for a dram.

Rievaulx & Byland Abbey

Two very fine ruins, Rievaulx Abbey (the more complete ruin) and Byland Abbey (with the remains of a circular window now looking totally fantastical). Both in North Yorkshire, both victims of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when Henry VIII was getting frisky and needed a little divorce action.
