Hi,
here are my pictures for the APDG ~ Hobbit Day swap,
I loved all of the movies. I was totally surprised as I hadn't realised what great stories they were. I had heard of the books and for some reason I thought they where about something totally different so had never read them.
I loved Orlando Bloom as Leggalis so had to include him
My hubby and I went to New Zealand for our 25th wedding anniversary and we visited the film set
Hobbiton. If you ever get a chance you really must go. It is truly beautiful. These are a few of the photos I took. I hope you like them

Looking across Bywater Pool to Hobbiton
This is inside The Green Dragon where we actually had a lovely cider.
One of the Hobbit homes. They are all diffent, sadly mostly only facades. The insides where filmed at the studio.
I started from the movies, I was a teenager, and I was in love with Frodo
Then I started to read The Hobbits, and I truly found it awesome. I liked the adventure feeling!
I started wanting to live in those tiny house:
And this is my favourite quote:
“Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back and home to bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!â€
I was first introduced to The Hobbit when I was in my early 20s in book form. And my imagination was immediately captured! I went on to read the Lord of the Rings with great excitement - five different times in all. And I can't even begin to say how many times I've seen the movies. Rivendell still remains one of my favorite places of all time. (I just know that it exists somewhere!)
