NPM 2020 - The Castle

That's it for today. I hope you'll join me again tomorrow.

  1. I had that experience shortly after moving to the UK. After the first year of poking around in castles, I started preferring to just stay outside and see the grounds... when it wasn't deluging down. You've seen one hall full of crossed swords/guns/flags/animal heads, you've seen 'em all...
