You must wake and call me early, call me early, mother dear;
To-morrow 'll be the happiest time of all the glad new-year,—
Of all the glad new-year, mother, the maddest, merriest day;
For I 'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I 'm to be Queen o' the May.
~Alfred Lord Tennyson

A call to nominate
April brings with it many things, warmer days and refreshing showers. Them crops starting ter awaken in the fields, showing us the promise of grand food ter come.
It also brings the Search for our next Shire May Queen and king!
Each April ah asks ye fer the name of a lass and a lad who ye think might be our next May Queen and king. They must have been born in the Shire, as tradition states
Once ah has sum names - all checked mind ter make sure them folks are happy ter take part - then the fun begins.
That be the voting, where ye get ter choose. But more of that later.
First ah needs sum names!
We've had such lovely queens in the past...
Acorne, Amorey, Lina, Pycella, Dassa, Pennyroyal, Granmama,Demelsa, Diaspore and no forgetting our current Louisalotta!
Them kings have been few, but were grand in their ways.
First was Master Potty, then Simbo, Aodhfin, Matzo, Xobin and our current Arigo
A queen an king only holds the post once, fer this is the way o' the land. The post can be as little or as grand as ye wants. Tis just a bit of fun.
Ye have till the end of Green Dragon next friday (April 19th) ter get them names ter me.
And then ah'll explain about the vote.
The winners will be revealed at the Shire May Queen event ter be held on the 4th of May.
So get thinking!
