 Happiness: money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important and so are friends, while envy is toxic -- and so is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude. - The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner as summarized by Lily Fairbairn. And a bit of the Hobbit reading thrown in never hurts. - NottaSackville

I think you know how much we think of your Grandfather and the whole family. It's not only so great to be able to see your Q&A, but to have you stop by and share it with us is fantastic! Thank you so much! This is GREAT! :D
Welcome, welcome... I hope you stick around and enjoy our community :)
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.

clearly your grandfathers work means a great deal to many people here and it is an honour to have a Tolkien in attendance.

Mr. Tolkien certainly was a wonderful and inspirational man, and congratulations on your own writings!
