Watching the films based on Tolkien's books has left me wanting to visit Hobbiton. At Bagshot Row, you can step inside furnished Hobbit homes, which makes the prospect even more tempting. I'd like to spend a little time somewhere that has previously existed for me on a screen.
I've also been through a renovation at home. Putting those two things together, I wonder how easily I'd manage to switch off the part of my attention that notices how a room has been put together. I'd like to think I could simply enjoy being there.
Comic transcript
Panel 1. Martin and Anna stand inside a small room with a round doorway and a round window. Martin looks around with quiet pleasure.
Martin: "I've wanted to come here for years."
Panel 2. Anna watches as Martin crouches beside the wall and points towards the skirting board.
Anna: "Well?"
Martin: "I'd check behind that skirting."
