But yeah, as a fan of the books/movies it's quite a vicarious tour. <br /><br />I do plan on reading the books someday, but definitely after I'm done school - they're THICK. I call books like that 'the zombie apocalypse books' assuming that I'll have all the time in the world to read, holed up somewhere safe, in case of an apocalyptic scenario, a la 'I am Legend'. Ahem. :)Tatianahttp://www.mycoldprairie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535516938330383686.post-56842734752584486102012-05-28T00:04:14.981-06:002012-05-28T00:04:14.981-06:00Hi Sarah, You NEED to see these movies!!

Haha, I'm so glad you enjoyed this tour of The Shire - it of course means so much more to someone like yourself, who's seen the movies and read The Hobbit. I bet you're looking forward to the release of the movie in December - I can hardly wait. I have read through the books 3x's and the Hobbit 5x's. If you ever find the time, the other books are quite a committment - but oh so worth the effort. I agree about having one finished home - it would have been the cherry on top to be able to go inside one that was fully furnished. Thanks for popping by - I know you're busy and I really appreciate you taking the time to visit and comment. Take care :)Jane https://www.blogger.com/profile/05368686874403775974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535516938330383686.post-63720057555838229362012-05-26T18:53:11.691-06:002012-05-26T18:53:11.691-06:00I have never read the books or seen the films... h...I have never read the books or seen the films... how bad am I!!!

Excellent movies all around, and I agree the Hunger Games Trilogy is absolutely addictive. Even though book 3 feels rushed. But I'm waiting to the movie to hit the DVD so I can watch it in comfort of my PJ's. Excellent trip and photos - they should have one finished hobbit house for photos, I LOVE visiting houses.Tatianahttp://www.mycoldprairie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535516938330383686.post-66973946811084733422012-05-22T11:26:38.279-06:002012-05-22T11:26:38.279-06:00I only wish he could talk - with all he's seen...I only wish he could talk - with all he's seen, he'd make a great tour guide!Jane https://www.blogger.com/profile/05368686874403775974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535516938330383686.post-32861199353813327212012-05-22T11:25:54.940-06:002012-05-22T11:25:54.940-06:00Haha, I thought exactly the same thing - I'm s...Haha, I thought exactly the same thing - I'm sure it was as tall as me! I don't know who'd possibly be using that in a hobbit village, unless they were expecting a troll. <br /><br />The farm is owned by a family, so I just assumed it's their pet.
