No Hobbit Market this week

By Peppy Bristlebrush   On Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 there will be no Hobbit Market in Michel Delving's Craftsmen Square. We are truly sorry for not reporting on this earlier and hope this does not scatter any plans of last minute present buying. So if you wanted to give your dear one a shiny new tool and have not bought one yet, you are out of luck. Perhaps Miss Nimelia will be prepared to sell her wares outside Market hours, if you are lucky. 

Miss Nimelia, by the way, did not look very happy yesterday and we asked why. She had had a brand new business plan: forging and selling steel Yule trees! With the cancelling of the pre-Yule market days, this plan failed. Why steel Yule trees, you may wonder? Well, normal yule trees are not strong enough to carry what was the second business plan Bramblebury's Shirriff had: Ornaments made out of ore: ore-naments!
