Rikki Kane Posts: 11 Joined: 31st Jul 2009 Location: UK | quotePosted at 11:43 on 31st July 2009 I’m about to be a successful novelist and when I can afford it, I plan to take all the necessary steps to have a house built under a hill in the countryside (as similar to Bag-End as possible). I’m deadly serious too! I was wondering if any of you could recommend where the best place would be to do this, so I can live out my peaceful life writing books in my hobbit dwelling, enjoying the beauty of the English countryside with lots of tea and goodies in the pantry. And in the evenings, perhaps a nice stroll to a pleasant restaurant for some great food, red wine, and some friendly chats. Any ideas? And would I get the planning permission easily enough? |

Bag-End is my favourite place in the whole world (ok, eben though it exist in The Fellowship of teh Ring). I don't think I'm very far away from having that sort of cash too. My house in London is decorated as Bag-End already! |

And I've just received a contract offer for my first novel! :-))) It's probably why I'm so excited and decided to join this site! My dream is so close now! |
