Papers from Michael Flowers on Tolkien in East Yorkshire; from Murray Smith on South African influences on The Hobbit; and now Dimitra Fimi on Childhood in Tolkien's Legendarium. All very good, as would be expected from these speakers.

Two small books bought (ed Ian Collier, and by John Garth); and a good dinner, served slowly, in college last night.

Most importantly, friends (and one family member) met and talked to, although I hope to spend more time doing this over the next twenty-four hours.

So you're still out there? (up there?) It all sounds very restorative. :)

Yes, we are here until Sunday. It's great!

Sounds good - I hope you continue to have an excellent time!

Thank you - we are doing so. Masquerade and Ents yesterday afternoon, then pub dinner with good friends; alas, I crashed after that, and went back to the hotel, and so to sleep.

Today, Enyalie at the graveside; then lunch, and the M1.
