Another lazy Summer - Gazette Issue 7 - 1423 S.R.

Well, here I am again, with my family, safely back in the Shire. I had a great time and came back invigorated with hopefully enough ernergy for another year of editing the Gazette.

Things are busy in the Shire right now, as the Summer Festival is on and that concentrates around the Party Tree as well as that nice fishing spot in Bywater. Lots of strangers can be found on our roads and drinking heavily in our inns. Let's show them Hobbit hospitality, shall we? They'll be gone again soon enough.

As during every Summer, the event schedule is rather thin. I think more Hobbits have taken to travelling during part of the Summer. I hope you will all have a great time and will return safely.

We have just seen the premiere of that famous play "Ode to Old Bloodtusk". Expertly performed by G.O.A.T. Maybe they can be persuaded to do a another performance for all of you who missed it or want to experience it again...
