Hey everyone, how's things! Hoping life here will quieten down enough soon for me to get back into the game properly, but in the meantime two interesting things:
I'm going to Lydney Park Gardens tomorrow, which apparently was a source of inspiration to Tolkien (though I suspect the owner of every field and hillock between here and Birmingham probably says the same thing!) Nevertheless, it is a bit exciting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/gloucestershire/films/tolkien.shtml I'll try and post some pics if I see any particularly LOTR-ish sights!
Also, is anyone going to London Film & Comic Con in July this year? If so, do you feel like meeting up? I'm heading up there mainly for the YA Literature Conference, but I'll probably spend some time checking out the rest of it too.
