Happy birthday, Lauri!

Oh, and
Is it a celebration? - Yep!
Did Bilbo once celebrate this occasion in Lake Town? - Almost, but not quite IIRC (wasn't it his 50th?)
Was it as joyous as the reunion of Sam and Bill the Pony? - Hm, hard to tell, but it was joyous indeed (not least because my wife and aunt-in-law conspired to buy me a boxed 3-vol set of The Hobbit and Rateliff's History - yummy!); so make that a Yes!

If by Lauri you mean me, thank you! I should come on here more often.

Oh I meant birthday rather than age specific.. so vulgar to focus on the number especially when some of us have stopped counting. Well done Frau Pitch und Tante (hopes that is German as well as French). I ahve the Rateliff histories but haven't got far with them yet.

Well, if we take Bilbo as an example, he only began living at the age of 50!

Cold be hand and heart and bone,
And cold be sleep under stone:
Never more to wake on stony bed,
Never, till the Sun fails and Moon is dead.
We don't need them, for, however dire,
Our Barrow glows with greenish fire!
And today our lovely site
Will sparkle with fireworks for the Barrow-Wight!



Happy birthday, BW! May many more unwary hobbits come by your barrow!
