“Oh misty eye of the Mountain
below….”
so the song goes by the great Ed Sheeran…so setting the scene for the epic films…Lord of the rings and the Hobbit – and for all fans out there in the World, there can’t be a better place to come than good old middle Earth in NZ
Now here’s a fact I’d be surprised if you know – the sheep used on set were imported from England – the NZ sheep were too modern and old fashioned sheep with black feet were required…..
This is one of the events I was really looking forward too – the only problem is, I now know it’s all not real and I find that quite disturbing as I really wanted a cup of tea with Bilbo Baggins and to walk through the Shire with Sam and Frodo – alas it was not to be.
Maybe I’ll forget and it’ll all become real again 😃
