Chained to your desk? What a terrible fate!

Alas, I'm in the mood for a walk but have no walking partner, O Relic of Wandering Days! Helenhobbit comes but once or twice a year and we are always hard-pressed to do all we have planned.

Wouldn't it be nice if we all could walk together? I long for a walking partner. I must confess, my good Hobbits, that in the autumn and winter I have little to do and long for company, even the company of Hobbits,for there are none in these parts. Perhaps the mossy,wet forests and the cold of the mountains keeps them away.
