I can only second all that has been posted above!
It was great to finally meet another Downer and be able to talk about Tolkien lore without feeling out of place.
I am now looking forward to attending the monthly meeting of the Tolkien section in Karlsruhe and hopefully I can bring a couple of them to the Downs into the realm of the undead!
As promised here is the photographic proof of our meeting:
Looking forward to our next encounter
Pitch and to enjoying some good wine from the Rhineland/Dorwinion!
