I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late.”

So, this is one for those who enjoy an Expanded Universe, or "fan fiction" if you prefer.

These are all the source books for the LotR RPG, but as well as rules for playing the game there's a wealth of resources for, say, telling a story in Rivendell, or Erebor. Normally the way this works is that they just expand on Tolkiens writings without contradicting any of his published works, but I can't make any promises. Still, for a minimum donation of $15, its worth a read surely!

I've been down the rabbit hole of geneology and have found I have a Proudfoot in my family tree. So far, just one

She does not look happy.

Looking happy for photos just wasn't done early on.

That's quite an interesting photo! Finding & sharing photographs is one thing I've enjoyed about genealogy. But a Proudfoot to boot!!
