Nobody in The Shire seemed to have hay fever, so that still sets us apart at least.
I suppose you thought that was terribly clever?
I’m an American living in England. For the benefit of my countrymen, I will set the record straight: It’s more like being in a Richard Scarry book, but with more broken glass on the ground.
Dont pick up any mysterious rings while fishing, especially the ones that have a strange mystic attraction about them.
…uhoh
Nice day for it!
This pic doesn’t show how ridiculously windy it was, like!
Estonian here. Our nature is kinda similar, but a bit different and we have great hiking routes you can view here. So any EUians here who don’t go through the hassle of getting a UK tourist visa or whatever is required (because, y’know, brexit; I’m not too familiar with the actual requirements tho), you can come here instead. I’ll tell ya, OP’s photo looks like it could’ve easily been from the south-eastern section of the Peraküla-Aegviidu-Ähijärve route. I’ve only done about 400 km of that route because I joined the group after they’d done the initial part, but I can tell you, it’s great.
Bonus points: Around late june, early july, it barely gets dark and only for 2-3 hours a night (time between sunset and sunrise is 6 hours, but it doesn’t go dark immediately, and it starts to brighten up way before sunrise too). You could pretty much hike all night if you want, or do what we do, and have massive summer solstice celebrations all night on the night between the 23rd (our Victory day) and 24th (St. John’s day). Get drunk, make shashlik, jump over a bonfire, etc.
Estonia is one of the few countries still on my to-visit list, it looks absolutely beautiful (and I usually enjoy your Eurovision entries too, which doesn’t hurt).
Good to know hobbitses will feel right at home there.
