Cling to this time and this place (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adhere

'cling to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'time and this place' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'this place' becomes 'here' (here in this location).
'ad'+'here'='ADHERE'

'this' is the link.

(Other definitions for adhere that I've seen before include "Keep" , "paste" , "Stick - join" , "Stick L" , "Stick to or continue faithful" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
