I wasn't able to come to Oxonmoot this year, but I did manage to attend the German Tolkien Seminar in Aachen in October. Now I'm looking forward to finishing the year with a Tolkienesque bang - the Tolkien Ensemble and an orchestra are touring in Germany with a concert of LotR and Hobbit movie music, with Billy Boyd singing and/or narrating. They'll be in the nearby city on New Year's Eve - what a great way to celebrate!
