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.

raining in London, it often feels the appropriate weather for this city- I know it depresses a lot of people but it's beautiful in its own way
I'll try take a walk along the river today

I was in London a couple of times over the last few days, and the weather wasn't great.
I cut through Knightsbridge, and passed the Ecuadorian embassy, where Julian Assange has been holed up for years. I didn't see the man himself, not his cat, but there was a media scrum outside. He was getting questioned by the Swedish police at the time.
Banners in support.
This statue on New Bond Street is called Allies, and celebrates the Roosevelt-Churchill relationship during the war.
Hermes have a spider in their Christmas window on Bond Street. Given that women tend to be a target demographic, and have a higher incidence of arachnophobia, this might turn out to be counterproductive.
The Rover found gainful employment after leaving The Village, and now moonlights as a window decoration in The Dover Street Market.
David Shrigley's giant thumbs up on the Fourth Plinth at Trafalgar Square.

^scrolling down I thought it would be a giant middle finger. Would have preferred that. Great pictures, though!
