The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

Swapped my Twitter and Bluesky icons on my phone, so muscle memory opens Bluesky by default now. Still a few accounts I've there that I want to follow but I'm starting here when I have a little time to kill.
