Dear Diary,
Today was the day and what a day it was!
After getting the farm sorted and Popsy over to Gammer's house I got into my best dress then went to see what this meeting of Hobbits was all about.
I arrived at the door to The Green Dragon and I started to shake with nerves, I nearly turned and fled for home.
A lad asked if I was alright. He must have seen my fear. He introduced himself as Simbo and opened the door to the inn so I could enter.
Such a fine gentle-hobbit.
He showed me where the Hobbits were gathering, but I could have found it blindfolded. The noise! Chatter, laughter and singing, as the night wore on poetry and stories! I'm afraid to say I stood near the wall and just watched and listened.
Maybe next time I will join in the chatter, or maybe even play a tune.
As the night was coming to a close, I found Simbo and said my goodbyes. He said i'd dropped something and he bent to pick it up. It was a trick, but a lovely one, he then gave me a Bluebottle flower.
Today is an exciting day! {---------On the page is a slightly faded, pressed Bluebottle flower--------}
