| Hello Primsong, I've read this story a couple of times before, but the last was over a year ago, so I thought I'de revisit it and reaquaint myself with this truly delightful story. I can't remember reviewing it before (being a bit of a lurker in the past) so let me make amends by doing so now. I'd intended to review every chapter, but forgot that there were so many, so forgive me if I review only every seven. This is my favourite Bilbo story ever. You have his character nailed to perfection. His hobbityness and sense of adventure shine through in each chapter. I love the way he determines to avoid all the sponging 'relatives' that come round to clear out his larder and just goes off on an adventure. I love his interaction with others (especially the forgetful Hugo whose early morning grumpiness reminds me of myself) and his sweet manner with Posey and her precious Sunnyface. Your gentle story with its descriptive passages and memorable characters endeared itself to me upon first reading it. I feel like I'm travelling the roads and fields with Bilbo as I read. It is completely captivating. Favourited (should've done that the first time I read it on ff.net). Great work! M :) Author Reply: Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review, I am so pleased to know you are enjoying his walk as much as I did. | |

| Hi, Primsong. I just wanted you to know that I'm enjoying your story so far! I just finished this chapter, and I'm on to the next one. I enjoy long stories, and I came across yours in a listing of MEFA winners. I can see why it got recognition.... it's very well written. I love your descriptions of the countryside as Bilbo goes along on his walking trip. Very nice! | |

| Oh, Primsong! I enjoyed this so very much! I'm so glad I finally followed the reccomendations of Larner and Dreamflower and sought out this lovely gem of a story. Nothing of note indeed! :) I just love the detail, the natural feeling you put into this, and yet you make everything tie together. The mistake with the apple saplings becomes a blessing when Frodo moves to Bag End because he's fond of apples, and so many other things. And I love the picture you paint of the Shire. This is definitely one I want to read again. God bless, Galadirel | |

| I absolutely loved the description of law, all using food illustrations! How hobbity, and totally hysterical! And I'm loving your Bilbo, my first hobbit love; exactly as resourceful and humorous and just and generous as he should be! Thank you! | |

| Goodness, you've made me waste a lot of time today! I so enjoyed meandering through Bilbo's year that I've been pinned to the screen. A lovely Bilbo - and a delightful account of his adoption of Frodo, from a Bilbo-centric point of view. And I'm very pleased to see Lotho get his come-uppance. Probably a good thing that Ivy settled for the sausage-master, though. She could have been rather a persistent nuisance, had she hung around. A most enjoyable read. | |

| Aaww... Dear, dear Sam! What a lovely epilogue. I am hoping so much to see a lot more stories by you here. I am very greedy when it comes to good fics--as you can see, I tend to just gorge when a great new story comes my way! I am so glad that you have begun posting here, and look forward to being treated to more of your talent! | |
