Some favourite mothers of Middle-earth, who show strength, love, care and sacrifice 💌

Tolkien: Too many hobbits. Also Bingo Bolger-Baggins a bad name. Let Bingo = Frodo.
[Frodo struck out] No - I am now too used to Bingo.

Say, Elwë…

The exiled realms of the north; I’d love to see Arvedui’s story, wars with Angmar and the Witch-King, more Círdan, more Glorfindel.

Also the tale of The Children of Húrin.

ONE PLEASE

I’ve had a copy from the library for a couple of months! I need a copy for my collection too.

Rebuilding Khazad-dûm in Return to Moria with @davidthengoldo.bsky.social ft. a lot of fighting armoured “den-dwellers” and a quick hello to Elbereth.

Today’s haul. I think the next few days will be big tom picking days. Green gage plums suddenly ripened overnight. The single jalapeño is probably picked slightly too early due to excitement.

Yep, I think pasta sauce is a great way of preserving. First batch was roasted toms, onion, garlic and fresh basil.

Moments of respite with new strangers and friends; generally with fireside accounts of recent happenings and counsel, a meal, sometimes a pause from immediate danger, and a replenishment of supplies before the journey forward.

Stardew Valley era. Some of the daily harvest hauls this week.

Zucchinis are starting to slow down (thank goodness). Carrots are being roasted daily with honey and oil.

Any recipes or ideas for excess tomatoes?

I have an abundance of garden tomatoes that will pair well with that

Atm: Finishing Silm read from late last year and continuing with Book of Lost Tales1&2. Morgoth’s Ring and Peoples are already a permanent fixture to my bedside table this year 😆

Yearly read of LotR, this time alongside the HoM-e volumes. NoM-e because new paperback and have only read sections.

I’ve been terrible at engaging on posts because of the ux. Algorithm is a bit off unless I follow starter packs - compared to Threads my algorithm was amazing for awesome chats. Felt very much like “Strangers from distant lands, friends of old: you've been summoned here” at all times 😂

Such a great passage and scene. When the shadow comes back over my heart sinks, but we know the shadow is only a passing thing.

Doughloafinwë 😂

The Loaf of Fëanor, Yeasterlings…

These are so good David!!

DOUGHLOFINWË AND FINDOUGHRÁTO I am cackling. Thank you TJ. Undoughliant was also in my notes list!!

Middle-earth themed bakery is a MUST.

Commencing a sourdough journey tomorrow (thanks to a holiday gift and watching Tolkien acquaintances consistently bake bread)

I was quite set on the name for my starter, but I have thought of another. Help me decide, and I will hold your loaf fulfilled.

1. Flourfindelë
2. Isildur’s Grain

I loved reading this Emma!

Re: cozy vibes and “the most warm and delicious light” at the Cottage - I am always reminded of the feeling our four beloved hobbits have when approaching the house of Tom Bombadil for the first time ✨

I have! However, cover to cover has been a while. I tend to just reach for sections within HoM-e to read.

I’m reading this too! Can’t wait to read your post x

Not quite for me BUT it has given me the idea of heading to a spot a little more inland for a Pelargir location.

Yep! This coastline and beach gives me Tuor energy straight out of Vinyamar.

Good grief!!!
