This is a farm just down the road from my father's house.
No, I'm not going to steal this for you @Seul!
Another view of the peel tower.
My dad lives in south Cumbria, and the border between England and Scotland was pretty lawless during the late Medieval period. The Border Reivers were raiders from either side of the border, and fortifications are common in this part of the world. I can think of half a dozen such towers within ten miles of here.
If you want an idea of how rough it was, two words originated during that period: Blackmail and bereaved. :o

The 2 words sound like our elections.

I was in Lancaster today to see Doctor Strange, and I saw a very appropriate sign en route to the cinema.
Lancashire was very big on witches back in the day. If you've seen The Seventh Son (probably not worth seeking out), or read The Spook's Apprentice books (I haven't), then some local place names crop up in them.
Between the Reivers and the witches, Westeros has nothing on the North of England.

Really beautiful Twin. We've been fortunate this year to have some really great colors even in the city. Fall finally feels like it has arrived so we got the firepit out for some smores.

Thank you @Anesthetist This year it is very dry so the colors are not as nice.
BTW keep warm by the firepit. -
