SO FUN.  The Lord of the Rings is one of my favourite movies ever - and I like the Twin Towers best of all. Brilliant that you have Hobbiton on your doorstep. It's beautiful.  Mary Beth (formerly LBD) on "Hobbits on a Sunday afternoon." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobbits-on-a-sunday-afternoon#post-1450925 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 05:05:42 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1450925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW HOW AWESOME IS THIS!!!   The only thing I can think of that would top this, would be if you could visit Rivendell and Lothlorien.  Sara L. on "Hobbits on a Sunday afternoon." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobbits-on-a-sunday-afternoon#post-1450640 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 19:25:35 +0000 Sara L. 1450640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, so pretty!  I would love to visit some day.  My kids frequently wear sizes that are way smaller than I think.  They are both tall and skinny so they fit into small waistbands.  Jeans and pants always get too short but shorts and shirts can be worn for years sometimes.

NZ being a little country really got behind Peter Jackson when he filmed LOTR and The Hobbit here.  I loved the books when I was a teenager and enjoyed all the films (LOTR a little more I think).   If any of you come to NZ and want to visit, please sing out as I am near by!!

I am going to show my kids. I read the whole LOTR as well as seeing the movies with them. Did you see any of the actors while they were shooting?

He wanted to visit Hobbiton which is about 45 minutes drive from where we live. So we took a trip today on a hot hazy Sunday afternoon. Hobbiton was looking very bucolic and dozy despite many many tourists. We did not dress up but lots do apparently. This is an anti fashion post, my shorts I know are unflattering but it seemed appropriate to wear Merrels to walk on the farmland - comfort was the name of the game. As we walked around we discovered the 13 year old was wearing a size 8 tee and the 10 year old was wearing size 8 shorts. They were oblivious. While a film set many things are typical of the landscape around here. I grew up on a farm not dissimilar except for the Hobbit Holes:). Bonus shot of us dressing up at the Green Dragon Inn at the end....
