Remembering my relatives who died in #WW1 & #WW2 Great Grandfather Clarence Weaver who died due to gas/Spanish Flu as a POW, my Grandad's children killed in #ClydebankBlitz & Granduncle Andrew McKendrick killed on the Somme probably by shelling #Remembrance #LestWeForget

That would be brilliant. Need to get your lowdown on his Hobbit poster where Gandalf uses an understandably grumpy Bilbo as a halfling shield against the Goblin hordes 😀

Happy Birthday @ralphbakshi.bsky.social director of the brilliant 1978 animated Lord of the Rings. Just completed a celebratory jigsaw. Looks like the Hobbits have had too much birthday cake. #LOTR #Tolkien

Perseverance for #TolkienTrewsday Plenty of perseverance in the Fellowship's quest, expecially from Frodo & Sam. Here they are getting rescued after destroying the ring courtesy of Gollum, in another great painting by Joan Wyatt. The Eagles Rescue Frodo & Sam #LOTR #Tolkien @timbolton.bsky.social

Picked up a couple of retro posters this year to add to the collection. A few are framed, some used to be on the wall when I was a student but unfortunately not enough space to display them all. #Tolkien #LOTR #TheHobbit #Silmarillion

Tidying the attic and found this. Before I joined the Tolkien Society I joined The Fellowship. Society in the US centred around Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings. Original joining form #LOTR #RalphBakshi #Tolkien
