journal of the wandering sage entry one

when i awoke the moon was rising . it didn't cause me any grief, and after last night it was worth it. i drank rather too much wine at the golden perch and had a merry old time. after a light breakfast of left over mushroom pie i wade my way to hobbiton by water , where i purchased more goods for my store. after a bit of haggling with a rather stuborn hobbit i finally had enough flour, eggs, and butter to replenish my stocks. shortly after my transaction i departed from by water and made my way to buckland. it was a quiet journey. i took a nap under the stars for awhile, benedict didn't seem to mind the delay in our journey home. he just nibbled on some near by grass and kept to himself. i'll stop for the night when we get closer to bree, away from the old forest... benedict is frieghtened by it.
