Welcome to the first of what I hope will be five weeks of sheer fun and frivolity as guests of Her Serene Highness, the Princess Stephanie in her own country, far away across the sea. This royal title has already been dubbed by crofter in last night's posting and I must say he likes alliteration in such cases. However, as many of her guests are quite familiar with the Princess's somewhat relaxed and informal style, most customs normally observed in a regal household will be set aside in this instance.

Curtsying and bowing and scraping would be frowned upon, the royal 'we' will be absolutely unheard of and the Princess can personally handle a certain amount of banter on a one-to-one basis; so at this point, I gladly hand over to her Highness.

Good morning, friends and fellow Linkers from the far flung reaches. It was with considerable surprise that I found that it had become my task to set the links for the month of May. This surprise quickly turned to panic when I started to think about the previous setters and the subjects, but then I stopped, drew a very deep breath and thought about what was at my own back door � figuratively speaking, of course!

I�m not guaranteeing that this will help in any way, but it�s a pretty fair description of where I live � [with apologies and grateful thanks to Dorothea McKellar]

I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains,
Of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea
Her beauty and her terror � the wide brown land for me!


morning your highness- enjoy your reign
Question Author
Over the next five weeks, I�ll try to show you some of the things that are so familiar to me � the way we live, in the country in which we live, and to start I�ve picked something which becomes familiar very quickly � a walk out in the bush on a warm day, amongst the gum trees with their scented blossom and the eucalyptus oil filling the air, the long dry golden grass brushing against you, the warble of the magpies, though this is best heard at dawn and the thump ... thump ... thump -- as a startled kangaroo races away through the scrub.

It goes without saying that I shall follow the rules relating the word length as introduced by crofter. Each of my chosen link words contains at least four letters and at most eight. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one or more of your attempts! Each of my selected words may go in front of or after my challenge word. The competition will officially close at 7.00pm on Sunday evening when my selected words will be declared, and points awarded in the usual manner. My first set of words to be linked should appear below at 9.00am.
