Blah..never type in the dark, you hit wierd buttons. I had written a big big reply, and then hit the refresh key!! Stupid, stupid, stupid! Okay, let's see if I can remember what I wrote. Ah yes!<BR>Everything was as I imagined it, except for Rivendell. When I first read the Hobbit, I was about 12, 13. Attention span not the greatest back then (much better now as am mature 17) and when it came to the part about Elrond I didn't pay that much attention to the descriptions Tolkien gave. So when we came back to Rivendell in LOTR, all I could recall was "The Last Homely House" Thing. So what I originally pictured was a big big field right next to the mountain with one wooden house in the centre of it. *winces* Seriously, I did NOT have a very good imagination back then!! I rather prefer PJ's Rivendell to mine, and who could blame me?? I laugh at myself!! Laugh with me!!
