Seen are the pilae that supported the floor of the Roman bath house. Hot air would be forced through the space.
My wonderful pen-friend sent me this bottle-opener. To celebrate, I made a 'dark and stormy', opening the bottle of ginger beer with my present.
Yes, it's in an old fashioned glass, not a collins - I use what I have! It tasted epic, so 'job done'.

Testing the zoom on my Pixel, here is Arnside Tower which sits below Arnside Knott. Built in the 15th century as a secure home to protect against raiders from Scotland. Now it stands in ruins after fires and neglect. It's Grade II listed and a scheduled monument.
This is a great lump of sandstone, formed about 135 million years ago when this part of the world was a swampy mess. This large rock is called the Chiding Stone, because (so they say) nagging wives and other wrong-doers were brought here and rebuked – or chided – by the massed villagers.
