Gandalf is the most outrageous wizard have ever met, and though I've no doubt of his power, i do find him to be a little nonsensical at times. Be that as it may he is a loyal friend, and trusted ally.

the dwarves i traveled with were a hardy bunch. they were courageous, strong, and... not the best house guests. the friends i made on my adventure was amazing, and i wouldnt trade the time spent on it for the world, but i would so love to be able to keep a full pantry when they come to visit

the elven cities are magnificent places, and i truly hope to return one day for a visit. the elves themselves are interesting beings, they are so knowledgeable of the world, yet they reserve much of that information for themselves. they are a very gorgeous people not just they are beautiful though, their cities, music, weapons are all so amazing too look at. i dont understand why the dwarves despise them so.

Although the world outside of the shire can be harsh and terrifying i have learned it is also a place of beauty, and although i don't plan on going out anytime soon i dont think i'd mind too much to wonder about again.

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit has inspired generations of fantasy creators. But it's also been an inspiration to tons of architects and designers. Here are all the most breathtaking Hobbit-influenced houses from around the world.

"In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a Hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." - wrote J.R.R Tolkien in The Hobbit. So here are some real-life hobbit-holes that look suitably comforting.
