Well everyone, wish me luck! Fairy Princess Blossom and I are off to the Fairyland Heads of Goverment Meeting (FHOGM) 2007. This year, it will be held on Tanna, one of the beautiful islands of Vanuatu in the South Pacific. We get to meet up with important Fairies from all over the place and talk all things Fairy. I’m pretty sure we are also electing a new Prime-Fairy as well.

Once all our Fairy discussions are over, I think we’ll be able to do a bit of sight-seeing. There are wonderful waterfalls with clear pools to swim in - I’ll have to be careful not to get my wings too wet! I know there will be lots of brightly coloured corals and inquisitive fish to see and feed - there is a place there where you can get in the ocean with fish food and all the fish come to eat it out of your hands.

But the most exciting bit of all, there is a live volcano on Tanna Island. Well, kinda live. It hasn’t had lava flowing out of it for years and years, but it still grumbles and groans and shoots red hot rocks into the air in a magical display. So we will be taking a tour to have a look at that. The island also has black sand beaches. The sand is black because it’s really the ash that has blown out of the volcano. Do you think my Fairy feet will be all sooty after a walk along the beach?

We’ve also been invited along to the local school to meet some of the school children. We have a wonderful Shirley Barber Fairy storybook to take especially for them, along with some pencils and notebooks. It will be very interesting to see what school is like for kids in another country, and we look forward to making lots of new friends.

Oh well, I’d best go and pack my fairy suitcase. See you when we return!

Fairy hugs,

The Fairy Queen
