Ok then, it´s my turn now.
Already one week over since I visited Master Theobald.
I was really excited to go to “Osning” again. The third time, if you remember right.
It was a bright sunny weekend and we enjoyed staying in his wonderful garden, having delicious plum cake and that elsewhwere mentioned famous coffee of Mrs. T.

(can you imagine having plum ckae on a summer afternoon in Master Theobald´s garden? Absolutely fantastic!)

Going by car this time allows showing some of my favourite dioramas “in real life”, what makes Master Theobald really happy.
Not only because one of these dioramas will stay with him FOR EVER !!!!

Later on this summer evening we had a professional BBQ which was really nice indeed.
And honestlly we wanted to stay outside till dawn.

(can you imagine having a barbeque on a summer night in Master Theobald´s garden? Absolutely fantastic!)

But there were important things to discover. So we went upstairs.
As mentioned: going by car allows a lot. So my XXL-project was with me and Master Theobald do know how large it will be in the ENT !

It was again very intensive and enlightening visiting Master Theobald and his kind Entwife. Being the perfect host.

Huooom … so it’s my turn now.
Yes indeed, that weekend was very much enjoyable. I was so glad to see some of Master Turambar’s smaller Dioramas that close. It’s only then that you can see his excellent painting skills and the way he perfectly includes natual material in his dioramas.

I am so grateful that again he gave me a magnificent gift. He uses to assemble the figure(s) to the base when he’s here – that’s safer.

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/9_christoph_im_garten_2.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/9_christoph_im_garten_2.jpg[/imgz]

… and he is very careful doing that.

Unfortunately I cannot show you the completed small Diorama here, as the figure, an excellent “female Elf archer” is non-Mithril. But instead I would like to show you his “Trumpeting Ent”

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/9_ent.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/9_ent.jpg[/imgz]

Well yes, as Master Turambar already said, dawn was very close when we decided to find some sleep.

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/9_wohnzimmer_1.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/9_wohnzimmer_1.jpg[/imgz]

On Sunday he showed me another marvel: His sketch-book with all those texts, drawings, ideas, colour schemes, pictures, and plans. Now that really is a marvel, believe me.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this “documentary”.

Great moments to share his collection with another fellow
It seems to me we are so few as the last elves by the beginning of the fourth age

Personally I’m more akin to two Elves – at least, I imagine I am, judging from the girth of my trousers.

Err, sorry for interrupting you gentlemen.
But nearly one year passes away and it´s about time to prepare.
Time to prepare the travel of myself towards Fangorn forest visiting our dear Master Theobald.
Or is it “Osning” forest? Anyway.
So- as far as I am concerned- everything is prepared well and perfectly and I will start the travel tomorrow . . .

PS: hold on for being updated . . .

So- I will have a start. As mentioned, I visisted Master Theobald last weekend. As usual in the summer. A kind of tradition meanwhiling.
The fourth time I have noticed! Therefor a very special thing has to be packed very carefully indeed.

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_p1070138.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_p1070138.jpg[/imgz]

The weatherforcast promised a bright sunny weekend so I decided to take this two-wheel-thing. I reached Master Theobald´s house in good condition and
everybody there pretended to be happy to see me.

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_p1070142.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_p1070142.jpg[/imgz]

We took a seat outide in his wonderful garden with his kind Entwife and enjoyed the summertime. Right in time we noticed, that it is “Pimm´s O´clock” :

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_p1070144.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_p1070144.jpg[/imgz]

Not the time for the cat. He simply overslept the most important point that afternoon:

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_p1070143.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_p1070143.jpg[/imgz]

My friend Master Theobald was surprisingly happy receiving a special gift. He deserves that, believe me!
At this time we already had the second glass of Pimm´s . . .

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_p1070146.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_p1070146.jpg[/imgz]

What happened after that? There is only one thing that is able to top this. A fine barbeque!

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_p1070145.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_p1070145.jpg[/imgz]

We spent an amazing summer night outside. Went upstairs later on having some serious discussions about some serious matters.
Sometime I wondered why the sky is slightly dawning while it was in the middle of the night . . .
Master Theobald corrected, it is NOT in the middle of the night anymore . . .

So- for myself- I can say a thousand thanks for the great host! Again an enlightenment visited the Tree! See you next year . . .

Thanks to both of you for sharing with us a bit of your journey & night.
I love these meetings !

Drinks looks much better than scrumpies at PP.
Could you tell us a bit more about what was on the BBq?

Can we have a closer look at the gift? Looks tremendous.

I like your choice in cats, Master Tree. This one is a very handsome soul – makes me miss my own recently departed friend even more.

Oh, I’m afraid I’m a bit late … anyway, here’s one more pic in which you see Master Turambar Fixing the last parts of his marvellous gift, a massive and simply excellent vignette.

yes indeed it was late before we went inside

I have to thank Master Turambar very much for that exceptional gift of which I don’t know how I deserve it. By now it is his fourth gift to me, a fourth Diorama. I will Show some close up pics of it in the “Mathom House of Michel Delving” tonight.

All in all again it was another wonderful weekend we spent together talking about Mithril and miniature matters in general.

Well, Master Milo, on the BBQ was a lot of meat of which I don’t know the correct English names.

Master Barliman, concerning the cat I have to tell you that it was not my choice at all. Hajo chose us as “his humans”. He was a young stray cat who one day decided to stay at our place some years ago.

He’s obviously enjoyed staying there.

Many meat. It sounds very good to me.
It seems MAster Ent has not only pimm’s but more liquid treasures at home. Is it entish water on the table ?
