wellinghallWe are back from Oxonmoot 2014 - the 41st altogether, my 22nd in a row, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adaese's 36th in a row. I think the weekend went well - met lots of friends, god-children and father-in-law, bought books, attended more papers than I usually do, saw four libraries and three of Tolkien's houses, had two good dinners, saw the stunning LonCon 3 masquerade-winning costumes, and got to imitate the action of the Samaritan.
A longer write-up, and photos, may follow at some point.
