My Holiday in Cornwall

I thought people might be interested in some pictures of my trip to Cornwall. I'll try not to bore you too much: the pictures of "heaps of stones" are heavily edited, I promise - I did take 400+ pictures in a week. (Have I mentioned that I love my digital camera....) But we had such gorgeous weather and everything looked so wonderful that I want to show off how beautiful my country can be. ;)

Day 6: Shireworthy

Day 6

rakshathedemon asked me for Faramir and Pippin having a good time, either immediately postWar or many years later. This was somewhat inspired by telperion1's (sadly unfinished) story Best Brew, which I was privileged to see quite a lot of while I was beta-ing it.

Shireworthy

The new Steward walked no longer in the Healers' gardens once the White Lady returned to her own land. Nor scarcely absented himself from his office unless engaged on other duties.

Eagerly, therefore, Pippin welcomed Faramir to the house shared by the hobbits, pressing a mug of ale into his hand.

Faramir saluted him before he drank. "Happy Birthday, Pippin."

"A song!" Merry demanded. Quickly they taught Faramir the Bath Song, and Bilbo's Walking Song, and others of the Shire, and Faramir's clear tenor joined theirs.

Sometimes hobbits give gifts on their birthdays that cannot be held in the hand.
