They just did a Silmarillion round on Mastermind. Our 16 year old daughter got about half the questions right! Very impressed.

Happy Birthday Samwise Gamgee!

Born on 6 April in 1380 (by Shire-reckoning), Sam supported Frodo all the way to Mount Doom. He fathered 13 children, was Mayor of the Shire for 49 years, and sailed West after the death of his wife Rosie.

He may be in the background but he’s most certainly the main player in this town! Rings of Power heartthrob, the shirtless king Waldreg, stands by the bar in the Tirharad tavern, his modesty protected by the Apron of Amon Sûl (it’s definitely weathered some hills!). Meanwhile two star-crossed lovers attempt to not sneak looks across the electric space Waldreg inhabits. A newcomer sits to the right, attempting to steal some of the viewer’s gaze with his bare legs. The lettered words “shirtless”, “ill-fated lovers” and “leggylass” float above this drama, but no one quite knows what they mean. Apparently this is all advertising the Rangers of the North and #TolkienTrewsday with a bold statement: “Always a bit of a thrill on #TolkienTrewsday, April is Rangers of the North takeover month”. Let’s get back to Waldreg sizzling in the corner…

It’s getting quite thrilling in Tirharad…

The fun continues in the ALT text.

A colored illustration of Samwise Gamgee.

So apparently April 6 is Samwise Gamgee’s birthday (so many birthdays today) so I think now would be a great time to share this illustration I did of him when I was in London.

Happy Birthday Sam!! 🎂🎉🥳

Theme poster for May 2026 displayed in the Tolkien Trewsday calendar format along with a digitally edited photograph (in Photoshop with filters, no AI!) taken of A glade near Roos in East Yorkshire. A tree bends to the left of the photo whilst a glade heavily covered with leaves and flowers takes up the greater part of the image. This is believed to be the glade where Edith danced for J.R.R. Tolkien and spark behind the legend of Beren and Luthien. I visited here on a guided trip by Tolkien Society member Michael Flowers in 2017.

And then in May…

The expansive ceiling of Liverpool Central Library's Picton Reading Room is pictured in a poster for the Rangers of the North Smial moot. At the top is a circular blue skylight and sectioned walls flow downwards. Below are tiers of old wooden book shelves (accessed by staircases and ladders). A huge lamp stands atop a central column facing upwards. The logo for the Rangers and event info is placed over the poster.

🧙 Upcoming Rangers of the North Smial moots include an online Zoom chat and an in-person moot in Liverpool. The @tolkiensociety.org have recently announced the Sarehole Festival. Other big events include Westmoot and Oxonmoot.

What happens when a Materials Scientist walks into Isengard? 🧙‍♂️🔬

I did a deep dive into the "indestructible" black stone of Orthanc. Is it volcanic glass, a high-performance ceramic, or a diamond-like carbon lattice?

Theme poster for April 2026 displayed in the Tolkien Trewsday calendar format (see next post) along with a digitally edited photograph (in Photoshop with filters, no AI!) taken of the Temple in Heaton Park, Greater Manchester. A circular building stands atop a hill with expansive views of Manchester in the background. The building, the Temple, has large paned windows and columns around it. You can see part of the circular enclosure around the Temple and trees beyond. The sky is filled with a feathery cloud formation.
