Hi, awesome live history video. I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well, and so is my cat Benjamin. We have a heatwave in Ontario, Canada. How is the weather where you are? In the next video, in the future, could you do Carew Castle it's in Wales on the south side. I heard it's haunted 👻 also. Have a great day. See you next video. All your history videos are always enjoyable 😊
