What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I assign the street names in my new town. I recently moved here, and it's so entertaining to pass through this one neighbourhood. I swear, whoever was in charge of naming these streets was having a field day. Here we have Camelot, Avalon, Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, Galahad, a version of Vivian, Shallot (okay, not quite Shalott, so maybe it's the vegetable after all). And then there's Ivanhoe, which goes with them about as well as a rock in a shoe, but I suppose it has Richard to keep it company.

The birds singing cheerily when they finally return from the South in the Springtime.

Catching fireflies on a late Summer's eve, with the stars overhead.

Campfires on Autumn nights, with juicy fat sausages and sticky marshmallows.

And those still, silent mornings of Winter, after a blanket of snow has fallen during the night, and there are rabbit tracks all over.
