Thanks everyone.
It was a fantastic day. Things came off almost without a hitch, the weather was perfect, and a lot of fun was to be had. Especially where the fun was to be had, it was excellent to have so many Downers in attendance.
And, to answer
Eomer, I am afraid that no particular
mention of the Downs was made at any formal point, but the peculiar feature of Downermoots I have attended is that Tolkien and the Downs itself have a decidedly low profile in conversation... for whatever reason. Besides, with
Boro and
Fea in the wedding party wearing jade that's a close ringer for Barrow-downs "ghastly green," did we really need to
state the obvious?
