The famous five are away on a splendid weekend adventure.

Do we have to go home today?

sighed Anne.

I agree said Dick.

Even Timmy looks sad.

Cheer up everyone.

Beams Julian, I booked long weekend tickets we can return anytime on Monday

Oh you are clever Julian said Anne save over 50% with the long weekend a ticket from Great Western Railway.

Adventures start here. Selected routes apply.

Saving in comparison to an anytime return fare.

Fellow time traveler, how lovely to be among you. It's always a pleasure to know you're out there that I'm not speaking into the void.

We travel through space and time together.

As always before starting this love letter,

I want to say thank you to everyone who has joined

at my Patreon.com site.

It's the finances, it's the cash coming through that portal that keeps the wheels on the bus and enables Paul and I to keep on doing this so if you are a patreon member if you are keeping that pipeline open and refreshed, huge thank you. If you're not and you'd like to join, if you think you'd like to become part of this extended family of history fans, people with questions, curious types.

Then just go to Patreon.com look for me by name, part of some cash you can pay monthly

or you can pay annually you pay once and it's cheaper if you pay for the whole year up front

But whatever way you do it is fine by me and as well as supporting the podcast, which is your philanthropic action.

You get access to exclusive content, question and answer sessions, competitions,

you also get access to one another.

This is a community.
