What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I assign Britain. The feeling of riding on the trains. Looking out your window and seeing the beautiful green and brilliantly yellow hills, passing gorgeous brick houses and green leafy trees. Riding through picturesque village and smoggy city. It's all beautiful in its own way.
The feeling of pure bliss of a long anticipated holiday, even though you know it will end, and the longed for return.
And taking trains with your friends. That is always fun!

Oh, and did I mention having tea?

Haha. *Is Anglophile* Should I go send things in to the tourist board? It really takes someone who truly loves a place to write about it with conviction; or a really good liar.

Getting off of work earlier than you expected assuredly goes to the Shire. Although I was looking forward to watching certain movies while waiting for my mom to finish so we could go home...*insert innocent puppy eyes*

To clarify: I work as kitchen help at a retreat center/summer camp. My mom just started as kitchen manager. I was supposed to get off at 3 o'clock this afternoon while Mommy worked until dinner was over. I just happened to have the FotR and TTT ExEd with me so I wouldn't get bored waiting. Turns out Mommy didn't need to stay until after dinner and we both left at 3.

My mama.

Because no matter how old I get, when I'm sick or hurt, I want my mom.

But mostly because I know she would love the gardening she'd get to do there, and she works too hard to ever have time to just play in her flowers. And she deserves it.
