He was just saying "hello" in Entish.

A quick hello really

Nice way to ensure nobody goes for walks with you if you enjoy the solitude.

Jokes on him, I wouldn't mind that at all (unless it's getting dark and cold). Man, imagine going on a walk with Tolkien?

Can't see the trees if it gets dark so I think you're good.

I would love to go on walks and stare at plants for unusually long periods of time. I'd probably want to discuss as I went.... but hey, if he comes back from the dead and takes me for a walk I am not gonna be choosy.

You can work hard and become a millionaire, you can train hard and become an athlete. You can have kids and grandkids, help the community, or contribute to open source. But to become someone who can sit and appreciate a tree like Tolkien - that's gotta be true happiness.

This helps explain the flower thing outside of Gondor.

If I'd survived the trenches of WW1 I'd probably fucking love nature too.

Is that Wisley? I think some of those alpines are still going, genuinely.
