Sorry I got distracted as per usual.. I think other stuff would have been going on .. 14 years hmm I hadn't thought quite so long but it isn't impossible. After all I imagine there was a very limited choice of spouse for anyone. It is a small half hobbit inhabited place with no human settlements within easy travelling distance so unless death creates an unexpected vacancy or a traveller stays around there may have been only a handful of candidates for any given person. Jessamy is limited by being too wilful, spoilt, and generally a bit odd by Bree standards and generally more trouble than she is worth. Could easily see her missing that particular boat.
We did have some fantastic weather - almost too hot but cold now and tomorrow will be very wet alas....
