I've put up my first post. It's a bit short and it mostly introduces Peony and brings Bunny and Tansy to her home. I was thinking they could arrive first and then Rudy, Mira, and Hugo could come soon thereafter. However, if her three relatives want to arrive first I can just edit the last few paragraphs for that.

Also I never mentioned if Peony lived in Brandy Hall in my post, but I was thinking of having her family live close to Brandy Hall.

Do any of you have Journeys of Frodo by Barbara Strachey? It's an excellent map book, with great detailing of Buckland on Map 7. Map 50 gives a great depiction of all four Farthings of the Shire plus the road to the Grey Havens. It would be an awesome tool if enough of us have it.

I'm fine with Hugo, Mira and Rudy arriving later than Bunny and Tansy.

I'm afraid I don't have it, but I found the M.E Goggle map to be of some help. anyone good at judging walking distance?

Lommy if you could post next and have us interact with Peony, that would be great, perhaps bring us to the point of asking Peony if she would like to come, then we can have Kitanna answer, than we can bring in the Family as we are leaving Peony's? We can have a quick chat between the 3 of us where Mira having just arrived over hears, then Finduilas you can take it from there on how you want to ask or what not to come.

Sounds good. I even might be able to do that tomorrow.

I've written most of the post, but I can't finish it as I have to ask Kitanna one thing first. Would it be ok if Tansy had dated Peony's older brother Hamfast (not maybe very seriously or for a very long time) in the past? I think it'd be quite funny.

That would make for an interesting/funny few posts. Perhaps they could have a brief encounter with her brothers before taking off. After all Hamfast and Nick should be able see their relatives before the adventure is under way.

map book should be a good help for any questions you might have regarding walking distances. I need a precise location for Peony's home first though.
