365 Project Week 44.

This week included my birthday and New Year - oddly, the pictures don't really reflect either of these events!

Instead they include ( an angel, a posh frock, and a girl and her granny... )

My plan for the next few days on my journal is to show a couple more pictures of the festival of trees, post the next chapter of the Winter Tale, and do some serious squeeing about the Middle Earth Fanfic Awards...

Squeeing!

Today is the anniversary of the birth of JRR Tolkien. I am about to raise a glass to his immortal memory - Raspberry and Red Currant wine - which has a suitable sense of hobbitness, or perhaps of the Northern Dunedain.

Which fits well with the squeeing - I have won a first and a third with two of my drabbles at the Middle Earth Fanfic Awards -



A First for By Pastures Green...




And a Third for The Hardest Month

- which features just such a bottle of wine!

Thank you to everyone involved - and especially thank you to the memory of The Professor.
