finally an update

Goodness! It has been ages since I did an update.  I’ve been shamefully neglectful these past few months. We’ve been having many visitors lately. From Calormen, Archenland and the Lone Islands. All coming to trade, to ask for advice or just coming to enjoy our… I don’t know. Bounty?

Lucy has been doing a lot of drawing lately. She does some very nice work. Pictures of fauns dancing, of hunts, the boys taking care of their horses. Her sketch books are quite full.

My mare has finally got better. There happened to be a small nail driven into her hoof. It was so small that I couldn’t see it. But the other day Edmund had a really careful check over Allene, gently pushing on the front tendon and such. He finally found the stupid thing. I called a groom to come and pull it out, I didn’t want to do it that’s for sure. Edmund seems to have a knack with horses. So he got the general back slapping and embraces. Needless to say, I’m very thankful.

In a minute I have to go and get another fitting for a new gown. It’s a really pretty emerald colour.

Oops, time to go.

..a telmarine messenger

Hullo,
We had a Telmarine messenger come today. He was dark (but not like the Calormenes, a different sort of dark) and had the most curious accent. He was quite tall with a beard, he was polite, but I didn't really like him. We are not exactly on friendly terms with the Telmarines, but we are not enemys. Peter joked saying "Maybe we should marry Susan to one of those Telmarine chaps and make an alliance" Ha ha! I don't think so! But he was just kidding. He would never want me to marry for anything but love. And I would NEVER ever fall for a Telmarine, the are so odd, and crule.
I can't think of anything worse, oh sorry, I can. A Calormene!
Lucy has gotten very fond of painting. She sits at the window sketching. I have tried, but I can't seem to do it. Edmund is revelling in the fact that he is thirteen. And has decided he is now offically "grown up". I'm fifteen and I don't feel half grown up. Well I do sometimes but other times I still feel like a child.
I really must go,

P.P.S It would be wonderful if someone could make me a bloggy button, I simply cannot work out how.

...happy birthday ed

Hello,
12 followers! I'm thrilled!
On Monday it was Ed's Birthday. What a wonderful time he had!
I finally decided what to give him. You all know he loves anything sweet...but of course he doesn't like turkish delight anymore. I decided to give him fudge. He simply adores fudge, and would eat bucketloads of it. They had never heard it here in Narnia, so I had to look hard for the ingredients.
I gave him one (very) large box, which him gobbled up in a few hours!
That night we had a huge party for him. The fawns had decorated the palace garden with lanterns and flowers. It took my breath away, truly magical! We all danced well into the night.
Pete's ankle is healed, but he wasn't quite able to dance. My poor little toes were quite glad!
Well I must go.

...my second post

Hullo!
Thank you so much for all the feedback! Six followers, I'm thrilled. Please spread the word!
Things have been very busy. Preparing for Ed's birthday-for which I still have not decided on a present. Please, if you have any idea's? What do you give to someone who has everything!
The days have been gorgeously warm. Between royal duties we spend most of our time swimming and riding. Me, mostly swimming. Splashing about in the emerald waves is pure bliss. It fills me with such a happy contentment. That I can't put down in words.
Pete sprained his ankle yesterday, him and Ed were climbing (being stupid). Peter fell out of the tree, and went ka-plonk on the ground. Its not very bad. But he looks very pitiful lying on the couch, strategically moaning whenever someone enters the room.
We are not going to give him some of the cordial.
And he isn't getting much sympathy. Yes, I know I'm the gentle queen. But really!
Better go now.
Your Queen

...my very first post

Hello,
Today is deliciously  warm, I am sitting on the beach pondering Narnia. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I wonder where I am. It still doesn't always seem real. Like a dream. Or as Lucy would put it "a dream of a dream". I wonder how I came to deserve such an honour. One minute I'm a normal school girl then I'm a queen! I'm not sure whether I miss home. Everything is strange. Wonderfully strange.
Ed's birthday is in two weeks. I am at a loss at what to give him. Any ideas?? He is turning 13. I can't believe it!
I am watching the boys diving in and out of the waves. What fun! I think I shall go join them.
Cherrio!
Your Queen
