I seem to recall the butchering of the de Witts was depicted in a film I saw on Netflix... Admiral (also maybe called Michiel de Ruyter).

Abandoned railways in North America. I can't speak for the majority, but where I've been in Canada, they've either been converted to multi-use trails or are being saved from that 'just in case'.

I torture myself with an insta account that features cheap European homes. Castles often pop up, which aren't 'cheap', but are more affordable than Canadian bungalows with significant land.

Or no land, as per this tongue in cheek account...

If you can't afford a Canadian bungalow, you definitely can't afford the upkeep on a castle - let alone the heating bill in winter!

Exactly. Or I'll just look out on the Feast of Stephen and beckon to poor men gathering winter fu-el to share.
