Now I could say I'm from France (Bonjour) which is where I'd really like to be! But that wouldn't be really true (but my heart is there so that might count). Then I could say that I am from the Caribbean! But that wouldn't be true eather... But if you are from Minnisota (USA) please PM me... (I guess MN ROCKS...! *half hearted cheer*)

Hi there, I'm from the land of Oz (Australia that is). I thought I might join you in discussions on Tolkeins books, the LOTR movies and the actors in the movies.

Cheers.

Adelaide, the city of church’s in Australia and a more beautiful place I have yet to find. The people are friendly and the town has a relaxed feel to it. If you ever visit Oz forget Sidney or Melbourne, Adelaide is the place to go.

I do indeed live in Germany, though I'm not actually a German citizen; another member, one of the administrators, is German - Sharkû. There have been others who have popped in occasionally, but of the regulars, that's all I know of. Welcome to the Downs, Durfuiniel!

It is interesting how everyone from a reputed farming center has to loudly make the claim that they are NOT farmers or "cowpeople!" And on that note, I live in rural Tennessee, USA, where I am the only one in my area who is NOT a farmer! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And there isn't even a town near me...if there were, there would be about 25 people in it--maybe. I think there are probably more Ents than people here, but they're not giving themselves away just yet!

Cheers,
Lyta
