A Trip To The Shire
Hello Wonderful People! Warning: contains strong elements of Geek. To call myself a Lord of the Rings nerd is a slight understatement. I love the books and am absolutely obsessed with the films. I could probably quote around 85% of all three films, with the (completely unintended) innuendos being my fave: ‘is that an…
