Just as a post script to my visit to the environs of Tolkiens home in Branksome... it has views over to the Isle of Wight ( the diamond shaped island of the central south coast of England) which is nice and appropriate. There is a pub called the Wight mouse which creates quite interesting ideas!!!!
Byt he way I saw that the Tolkien's Oxford home is for sale again having been renovated - at about twice the price.......
