This past summer, #Westmoot26 committee member Ty Harnar wore his Westmoot shirt to DragonCon. There he met many familiar characters (and buildings!) from Tolkien’s legendarium. We love seeing these awesome cosplays!

Got to see the glorious Bergen girls in Kentish Town last night! They took me to the Parakeet Pub for a wonderful dinner. I love them with my whole heart. We have decided that we are a coven.

I had a wonderful time at the London Museum Docklands the other day. The museum is huge and full of interesting stories. Secrets of the Thames was a fantastic exhibition! Well worth a visit!

I’m officially on my way to #oxonmoot! Woooot! I forgot so many things, this was an extremely disorganized lead-up, but at least I made it to the airport! 🤣
I’m now enjoying some airport tennis, I know @clarelmoore.bsky.social will be proud of me. 🎾
