Unlucky in Devon - 28

Hobbiton as it was in 2006 in New Zealand - For some reason this piece of Lore reminded me of Bilbo leaving his home on his eleventy-first birthday... By Rob Chandler (Original Hobbit Hole, Hobbiton New Zealand) [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
It is unlucky -

"To return, or to look back when leaving the house to start on a journey, or even when going for a short walk. If compelled to return one should sit down and rest for a few minutes before making a fresh start."

Hewett 1900
