What is recorded here

North tower, Cardigan castle is a castle, fort or tower in Ceredigion, Wales. Perhaps it stood as a watchful sentinel over the valley, its stones drinking rain and holding heat from passing suns. Maybe soldiers paced its narrow floors or lovers pressed fingers into its rough mortar. Imagine the tower breathing life into ordinary days, waiting for hands to touch what time has worn smooth.
