On the Barrow Downs:

And a cute photo of the girls:

There's so many more photos I'd love to add, but I won't flood this thread too much..

That's really nice.

Oh, and I thought I should mention...

From April 29 to May 7 I will be in London alone with no set plans (yet). If there are any Downers that live in or near London who are interested in meeting, feel free to PM me. I'm afraid I won't be online very frequently in the upcoming days, but I'll try to check my messages at least once a day.

Guinevere and I will be meeting at the German Tolkien Seminar in Jena this weekend. Should any Downers chance to be nearby, do drop in! The lectures on The Hobbit will be very interesting, and there's no charge for the seminar itself. Just find a cheap place to stay; food need not be expensive in a university city.

The seminar in Jena was wonderful, and before it even started, Guinevere and I met while crossing the street! (A similar incident occurred at our last meeting in London - we met a couple of blocks away from our designated meeting place, on the street while walking there.) It was a pleasure to see her again and to meet a member of her family who was with her. What's more, she brought me some lovely fabrics, antique laces and embroideries for my patchwork collection - a special treat! We had lunch together before the event began, which was a good thing; after that, the program and lots of nice people there kept us very busy.

I just got back to London last night after a weekend in Oxford. I stayed there for three nights in tgwbs's dorm, and even though he was pretty busy for part of the time, we still had lots of fun doing a various amount of things. It was a great experience being toured around the city by a student, plus I got a peek into what Oxford student life is really like (quite insane, really

). I also met Anguirel and Amanaduial the Archer who are also Oxford students. It was great talking to them, though sadly our meetings were briefer than I would've like (though I can't blame them with their busy schedules).

I also visited Tolkien and told him how awesome he really is...though unfortunately I didn't get much reply as one usually doesn't when talking to a tombstone...

On Friday, I met Laitoste in London and we hung out for the day venturing to the Science Museum to play with cool science stuff. But the main event took place in the evening when we headed to Covent Garden to see the Lord of the Rings Musical. I had a wonderful time and seeing the play with a fellow BDer really enhanced the experience.
