By Penina Pondhopper Bramblebury is to get a new facility, which will allow all
residents to grow crops, forge tools, shape wooden furniture and to
cook. The Bramblebury Library and Crafting Centre opens its doors on 20
February, largely thanks to the generosity of a Mister Penthadryn, who
used to live in the Shire. The centre took delivery of the oven today
and last week received a fine forge, donated by Miss Nimelia Stoutfoot. Mister
Penthadryn, for whom Ponso once worked as caretaker, is also donating
his large collection of maps and books which will be kept in the centre
and available to all to read. The floors of the burrow have been
reinforced after the original planking collapsed under the weight of the
bookcases. There should be no problems with the floor now which has
been built over brick vaulting. We hope all
hobbits will join us to celebrate the opening of the library on 20
February at seven and a half bells ((7:30 UK time, 2:30 pm server time)).
There will be music and refreshments as well as a tour of the
facilities. The address is 2 Chalk Road, Bramblebury. Penina Pondhopper Library curator  |
