HerenIstarion--

I believe you misunderstood my post. I was not saying that Bouremouth had anything to do with Leaf by Niggle per se. Merely that, in his own life, Tolkien may also have perceived some "unfinished business" in his relationship with his wife and that his willingness to "go into exile" in Bournemouth may have been an example of that. Sorry if I was unclear.
