Which one of you are going to win the lottery? And more importantly, which one of you are going to kidnap lal and Davem?

We would need a 'family room' to magically appear which would cut the cost and provide us with things like night time silence, a microwave, and free parking because we need to tote so much muck and tat (cots, prams, musical octopus etc) around with us right now

I can understand your reasons not to come, Lal and davem, but I must admit, I wish you could. My experience (most recently at the annual meeting of the German Tolkien Society) is that children enliven things among all those adults - your Junior would be the star of the weekend! (Your presence would be reasonably welcome, of course, as his caretakers...

He already thinks (knows?) he's centre of the Universe

He has a knack of blowing raspberries at all the right moments so he would be a little comedian too.

However, I would like to show him off, I admit that

You can even buy baby sized Tolkien t-shirts so he'd fit right in. He needs to be Tolkienised as he's just a Whovian at the moment, he goes quiet and watches the TV as soon as he hears the sound of the Tardis or the theme tune (which is very cool).

But it would all be a logistical nightmare right now!

I will most definately be there, sorry that Lal and Davem won't be going again, hope to see the little one soon.
