Greetings fellow time travellers, glad to have you with me on the journey.

We've made some headway now.

We're fairly getting through the centuries,

but it's better to be doing this together

than leaving me to do it all on my own. So thanks for coming.

of both of our hearts. If you're not a

Square sails, prowls, carved with dragons and circular shields hung over the gunnels.
