What a perfect way to honour what November 11th is all about. Lovely story ST!! I also added to my LJ account today, a story I wrote last year after being inspired by the coverage of the 60th Anniversary Ceremonies of the Liberation of Holland and V-E Day. If you, or anyone else here, would like to read it, my LJ is under the name of Tiggersk8. Once again, what a perfect way to mark what November 11th is all about. Thank you Slightly Tookish!!

Thanks very much, Tigger! I think that the hobbits would have certainly remembered the Battle of Bywater, with battles being so rare in the Shire, but Pippin, having fought in several battles, would have had a unique perspective to share with his son. I'm glad you enjoyed!

Perfect for 11/11, and hopefully posted at 11:00. Yes, the moment of remembering those known best, for the land loved and known best.

Lovely ST. The passing of memories is very special. I love the use of the autumnal leaves. It is already November and we don't seem to be getting very much colour here this year.

Unfortunately we're not getting much color here either! But I am glad you liked the use of the leaves in this story. I had to 'see' them somehow :) Thanks so much for reading!

What a lovely story, and a perfect one for the day. You made this veteran sniffle, and in a good way. You should post this to Hobbit Holidays, you know. ;)

I'm so grateful that you found it moving...thank you so much. And thank you for your service too! That's a good idea to post it to Hobbit Holidays - will do, thanks!

A beautiful story of remembrance and honouring those who have died in battle, and very appropriate for this weekend. Fari is obviously a sensitive and sensible lad who will one day be a wise Thain.

Thanks very much, BB. I'm so glad you enjoyed this. It wasn't an easy story to write (I began it a year ago, actually) and yet I wanted to show how I thought Pippin would react and what he would teach his son.
