Everything\u2019s being irrigated therefore the hedgerows are a bit bushier and the apple trees are fruiting (although the pears aren\u2019t doing so well). Gandalf\u2019s cutting has been restored. <\/p>\n

I did think some of the gardens would be planted up by now, with the supposed start date in a few months – it doesn\u2019t cost much to sow a few seeds after all – but I guess they do have to wait for that elusive greenlight. Also they may leave filming Hobbiton towards the end of the shoot. Who knows? Anyway it was a beautiful day and although the Hobbit holes look somewhat dejected it is a lovely spot and we did feel the first tinglings of excitement! <\/p>\n
