Lathriel has just left Hobbiton.
I just like the whole Sackville-Bagginsess thing because the idea of very annoying relatives can be very amusing.
I always liked the part where Obelia tried to sneak out some silver spoons by putting them in her umbrella. Than as a parting gift she gets those silver spoons. That was very thoughtful of Bilbo.

I also liked the fox part, I don't know but somehow it adds a little brightness before the darkness comes.

Eevery time I read LOTR again I always enjoy the part in Rivendell when Bilbo and Frodo leave the Fire hall and they hear a fragment of A Elbereth Gilthoniel. In general I have never minded the songs since I like poetry a lot. However I have heard people complaining about all those songs in LOTR. I always find that kinda annoying.
