Any Suggestions?

[Nobleman]

Ok, here is my plan. I am determined to build a house under a hill in the beautiful English countryside (or have it built for me), and I want to live out the rest of my days in a replica of Bag-End, spending winter writing stories at my desk, next to a quaint fireplace hosting gentle, dancing flames of passionate yellow; and in the summer, I'll sit outside in the garden and let my beautiful surroundings endear my senses whilst I bathe in the music of the happy songbirds.

That's basically how I want to live my life. Anyone got any ideas how I could make my dreams come true once I am able to fund it? (which will be in the next two years)

Well... I suppose you'd have to start with either purchasing that bit of land or finding a small cottage you could remodel, if the local land-use rules allow it - sounds lovely! I've seen some folks who have accomplished it, such as
this one. And here's a floor-plan if you want to attempt a real Bag End experience, lol...

Of course you'll need a greenhouse for that garden, and a gardener to tend it. I hear the Gamgee family has a young son who's been pretty reliable.

Wow, good luck that sounds wonderful. Perhaps you should talk with an architect.

Oh my god I am over the moon! Thanks so much for this, it has really made my year! I am going to contact the man who done this and find out how I can do the same. It looks like it won't cost too much as well!

Good luck with this Nobleman - it sounds fantastic!! Keep us in formed with how your plans are going please!

Best of luck! We're looking forward to pictures!

I'm giving you a Bag End avatar. If it suits anyone, I think it would suit you best. (of course you can change it if you like.)

May I suggest a Fellowship moot when Nobleman gets the place finished? Sounds like living in a dream~ how lucky you will be when you can make this happen!

I'm green with envy.
