Sarehole Mill in Birmingham is said to be one of JRR Tolkien's greatest influences. This weekend Sarehole Mill stages a celebration of the author's life with swordfight demonstrations, a saxon village exhibition, archery range, horse rides and other attractions.
We went for a while yesterday, and despite it being far too hot for Charlie, we had a lovely time.
To see pictures and a video of our visit, look here. It's my experimental website so it looks pretty horrible, but the stuff's there now and I don't feel like moving it.
We're in the garden today, getting soaked.
Six weeks to our holiday!
