Alatariel, thanks so much for that quote. The best part of their journey so far? Amazing.

You know, this makes me want to do something else that's less distance related than experience-related... like Linzielf does, relating the terrain we walk to Frodo's journey-- only do it by season and date istead of distance. September 22 thru March 25-- duplicate the terrain. (That includes a two-month rest in Rivendell and another couple of weeks or a month in Lorien... say, this is sounding better and beter.)

That'll take some pondering.

Nuru-- Yes, Yes, Ceili dances for hobbits! Perhaps the Springle Ring was actually a Reel of Tulloch?

Nuru, this is funny; I've had mostly Scottish Highland and just a bit of Irish step, and you're vice-versa. I think hobbit-lasses would do lots of ladies' step. The Lilt-- I can see Rosie Cotton dancing The Lilt! (Just, not to the bagpipes. Fiddle or flute perhaps.

I think we should all get together on Weathertop and dance a Springle Ring. We could write our own.

(Pas De Basque- a polka-like,four-count, 123_123_-- but prettily done. Abbreviated PDB.)

So-- part one of the BD Ceili Weathertop Springle Ring:
PDB, PDB, side 1234567, rise and grind-- then what? Memory is as foggy as the barrow-downs. Nuru, help!
Part two of the BD Ceili Weathertop Springle Ring: Tulloch swing left, then right, then your choice of setting steps to your partner!

Meanwhile Rosie is off to one side doing her pretty PDB, flirting with Sam.

And who is going to do FrodoLijah's chicken-dance? Come on, somebody. BW, you're on!
