It is being built using only what tools and technology was available in the 14th century, and it's fascinating!

London is my ideal place for romance...even if they do say it's dark and dreary. It's got werewolves written all over it. Good luck on your rise to fiction. :)Laila Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430076999393883312noreply@blogger.com
