Meela has just left Hobbiton.

It's hard to define where I live, as I have a number of choices. I would say that the majority of the land is very much Shire-esque, but a lot of it reminds me of Rohan. We have a bridge that I cross on my way home and because it is downhill, you can see the fields and plains all the way to the horizon. So I stand at the top of this bridge, gazing out across the land, with my hair blowing about my face. Give me a white dress and call me Eowyn!
But this view from the bridge also makes me feel as though I am in Gondor. Although it is more of a village than a great city, parts of it occasionally have a grim, grey feeling about them, much like Minas Tirith. So if I were to stand on that bridge and gaze at the old, grey churches and domes, I might well be looking out across the fields and plains of Ithilien.

I suppose it depends on my mood and the atmosphere. If it were a cold, grey morning, I doubt I could find aspects of anything but Gondor. But on a glorious sunny day like today, when i'm looking out of the window, all I can see is a little kitchen garden filled with pots of flowers and herbs and hanging baskets, and beyond that the lawns and gorgeous, green trees that line the banks of the little stream. And I can quite easily imagine myself as a hobbit.
