Katherine (Katy) Morgan-Davies

Leeds

The Lord of the Rings is the most important thing in my world. At every crucial stage of my journey, it has been my comfort, my inspiration and my guide. It has saved me during my darkest hours and has been at the centre of the happiest moments of my life. Without it, I wouldn't be alive...I wouldn't be me! Come join me and let us zoom off to Middle-Earth on a tide of magic, joy and beauty!
