It's taken me considerably longer to get here than it did Frodo & company, but Bucklebury Ferry is only 5 more miles. I think I'll stop for lunch tomorrow at Farmer Maggot's...I'm in the mood for mushrooms. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

They went on for perhaps another couple of miles. Then the sun gleamed out of ragged clouds again and the rain lessened. It was now past mid-day, and they felt it was high time for lunch. They halted under an elm tree: its leaves though fast turning yellow were still thick, and the ground at its feet was fairly dry and sheltered. When they came to make their meal, they found that the Elves had filled their bottles with a clear drink, pale golden in colour: it had the scent of a honey made of many flowers, and was wonderfully refreshing. Very soon they were laughing, and snapping their fingers at rain, and at Black Riders. The last few miles, they felt, would soon be behind them.
