Crickhollow always sounded to me like a somewhat remote place

A good point. If my memory is correct, the book stated that Frodo purpusfully chose a house in a remote place, so a glimpse of a hobbit from afar of Fatty doing a quick bit of gardening might be all that was needed to 'prove' that Mr. Frodo was indeed still there. Besides, I'm sure Fatty had no objection to staying inside & eating most of the time [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].
