The Shire - following J.R.R. Tolkien's footprints

Yesterday we had to give ourroom to other customers and stay again in six people room so we decided to do something and avoid it. I made plan before coming to Birmingham that I want visit in Sarehole Mill, place which inspired Tolkien in his books and was his childhood place.
" It was a kind of lost paradise ... There was an old mill that really did grind corn with two millers, a great big pond with swans on it, a sandpit, a wonderful dell with flowers, a few old-fashioned village houses and, further away, a stream with another mill. I always knew it would go — and it did."
Place was magical, even it's only early spring now. I bet it will look even magical on Summer. Too bad the mill is closed now and they make tours on Summer and Autumn. But we went to there we only could.

Empty room


Whole day it's rained. Not very 'Christmas' weather I'd say. 
I don't know have I ever experienced non-snowy Christmas before, I know for sure
there has been those days but I can't remember that far away.

Today I wrapped gifts for my family, then I cleaned my room for start and 
played Nancy Drew game where was a lot about Edgar Allan Poe, who I love.
I didin't remember that and while I played that I had my new necklace around my neck
which with all it's irony was golden bug. I didin't realize that but only in very end when
characters started talk about golden bug book.

I also got my one Olavi's poster on the wall.
