All that stuff at Crickhollow is so delightful. I've come to love how the book wanders its way toward the Great Quest. ;D

Of course, hobbits don't do massive, complex public architecture, so no roman style baths, and the Shire is pretty well all loam and not very geologically active, so no hot springs, and thus no big communal pools, but I think they'd really like them.

Hot springs? they say. Tell us more!
