I read the Hobbit and LotR for the first time at the age of 50! ( 5 years ago) Discovering Tolkien was quite a revelation ! It was just what I needed at this point of my life - it opened up a whole new world and made my life so much richer . Not only did I set out to explore Middle-earth and learn more and more about Tolkien, but thanks to this I also discovered the internet (and therein the Barrowdowns) Before becoming engrossed with Tolkien I had never even used a computer!
