It has been almost a year since I posted here. That is terrible!
Life has been never-ending busy, but recently I have had a few e-mails from folk asking if I will continue writing and posting. I had another e-mail from a dear friend of old with some excellent news, and I also just discovered an e-mail from another blogger, 'Lianna', concerning my old blog. If by any chance you read this, Lianna, I am afraid I cannot access that original blog at all. It is a source of much aggravation for me...but..I am going to try and update this one once a week. Today is exceptionally busy with sorting 'back to college' things for others, but tomorrow I will try and get more story posted.
It would be great to get back in the swing of things again.
One small Tolkien comment. I recently bought the book 'Arda reconstructed' by Douglas Charles Kane. It:
" ...makes the case that in creating the published Silmarillion Christopher Tolkien reconstructed his father's vision of what he considered - even more than The Lord of the Rings - to be his most important work'.
The book is facinatingly useful for anyone who struggles with the different accounts in the Silmarillion and HoME books, and makes some highly relevent ( in my opionion) conclusions.
More on this to follow......
Picture is of the Royal Selangor goblet 'City of Tirion'.

Hello Ëarwen. Many apologies for the horrendous delay in posting anything. Life has been amazingly difficult this year...but..I am working on new short stories, and on finishing the older ones. I am glad you like the goblet. I am very fond of it myself. ;-)
Lianna..hi again! I am going to post a re-edited version of 'Nerdanel's Story', but may try and put up the chapter you are asking about sooner - out of order. Apologies to you, also..for being so tardy with my posts.
And thank you both for your encouragement!
