When I was doing research for Troll Blood I went to Denmark and had a
holiday sailing on a replica Viking ship, the Roar Ege, built by the
Viking Ship Museum at Roskilde. I learned a lot! Here are some photos

I so badly wanted to read more stories about Narnia, that I wrote some myself. I was ten years old when
I made this book. I could never have imagined it would appear on my own website years later. (Colour TV
was exciting when I was ten. Computers were bigger than large refrigerators and only scientists used them.
And no one had thought of the internet.) But I’m sure I would have been thrilled!

Here is Dapple, the lovely pony I used to have. He was very intelligent and could untie knots with his teeth.
If I tied his leading rope to a fence and turned my back, he would sneakily undo the knot – then wait to see my expression!
The blacksmith fixes a loose shoe, while Dapple dozes off. |

Ready for a good trek over the fields. I’m riding bareback, in wellies and a very old coat. |
