Reply To: Do you have any other hobbies besides Mithril?

Books. What more can I say than that I have somewhere between 7,000 and 8,000 of them? – mostly non-fiction (history and military history), but also many Fantasy – including, needless to say, a couple of hundred by or about JRRT. Also I enjoy gardening (Mrs Barliman and I have a wild-flower garden), and I ‘collect’ details of 12th-14th century British heraldry and genealogy. However, I have to confess that the latter hobbby – which used to fill most of my spare hours – has had to take a back seat of late (there just isn’t enough time for everything!), since most of the past eight years has been spent building up my LOTR wargame armies – which are only partially (maybe 10 per cent) Mithril.

I also serve ale.
