Oxonmoot

We are back from Oxonmoot 2014 - the 41st altogether, my 22nd in a row, and [livejournal.com profile] 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.

I went to:
- Murray Smith: Knights and ‘officers’ in the Middle Kingdom and in Middle-earth
- Michael Flowers: The Tolkien Society on BBC Radio
- John Garth: Tolkien 100 years ago ...
- Sonja Virta: Tove Jansson's illustrations for The Hobbit
- Andrew Higgins: Tolkien, Lost Tales and the Invention of Ottor Waefre.

There will be photos of the costumes!
