There might be ways round that but I don't know them.<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-56830714137083278672017-08-16T04:35:59.385-07:002017-08-16T04:35:59.385-07:00Any way for those of us in the States to hear this...Any way for those of us in the States to hear this?tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354048695798015131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-33522292106003025632017-08-16T04:17:30.410-07:002017-08-16T04:17:30.410-07:00As I say, I did enjoy it, Bruce.

I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-64827206836422808122017-08-16T03:52:09.398-07:002017-08-16T03:52:09.398-07:00Thanks for the 'heads-up' William - I shal...Thanks for the 'heads-up' William - I shall give it a try. <br /><br />There is still quite a bit not explicitly revealed (publicly) about Tolkien's marriage, including apparently a troubled period of separation (referenced in Warnie Lewis's Diary, and implicitly in the chronology in the Tolkien companion, when JRR and Christopher seem to have gone to live in lodgings for a short while, a couple of weeks?). <br /><br />This may be related to Tolkien's 'nervous breakdown' after he was translated to the Merton Professorship and when he took time off work in the 1945-6 period. <br /><br />http://notionclubpapers.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/1945-6-tolkiens-darkest-time-whilst.html<br /><br />http://notionclubpapers.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/tolkien-most-unfortunate-man-according.html<br /><br />I suppose the details may come-out after JRR's immediate family have died.
