If it helps, estimate your walking distance by guessing three or four miles an hour. I actually do closer to 3 miles an hour-- I'm slow... For me, it's about fresh air and sunshine more than distance. (I'm a heliotrope.)

Yeah, it's not about competition, it's about encouragement and cameraderie. Lots of people seem to have walking songs they like.

Y'know, I'm seriously thinking of setting up a site for hobbit walking songs. If I had an MP3 recorder I'd sing 'em myself, once I got the tunes down. How about the rest of you?

(Maybe the BW might even let us do it here if we can keep it small and VERY hobbitty; otherwise, I can mount it on my own site. Although I would still insist on Very Hobbitty, or Elvish would be fine. You know-- ME, On Topic, Tolkien Only... Yeah, like that.)

Nuru-- you're going to have a garden?!?!? Oh, you HOBBIT you! (Oh, all right, elves and men garden too.) Keep me posted! Whatcha gonna put in it?

Need at least one little corner for violets of some sort, dontcha think? And cosmos in the back, and ... oh, all right, I'll let you design it... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] :P but you gotta tell us. If you get too flowery go to the "When Spring Unfolds The Beechen Leaf" thread and put it there! Samwise would be thrilled.
