You’d think i’d have some inkling of what’s going on by now, i mean i do have 4 of them and i am with them 24 hours a day – and i do put in a reasonable amount of thought about them. But no, i seem to stumble about in the dark quite a bit. […]

From the level of bobbing up and down that went on, it was fairly obvious that Fran had got the idea of who Jadis, Queen of Charn might be. Maddy wasn’t far behind and both of them enjoyed the humour of Uncle Andrew the “King”. I hate being interupted while reading outloud but i swallowed […]
