What do you "assign" to the Shire?

Bakewell also has a little cafe in the attic of an old cottage that sells Austrian sausages, mustards, and cakes, complete with an alpine decoration theme. I love it! And then there are all the lovely Pudding shops, too, and the river bank and hundreds of ducks to feed. Shame its a bit too expensive for us to live out there.

I send nice little towns with interesting shops and no big chain stores to The Shire.
