The Doors to Hobbiton

Today my homestay mum, Susan, kindly drove me out to the Matamata area of New Zealand to visit....Hobbiton! It was an incredible day outside, which just made the tour through the lands of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit that much more magical :D




Here's a little collage I made of the many doors within the town of Hobbiton :)




I'll let the pictures and a short video (above) of Hobbiton speak for themselves...

Tomorrow I will be starting work at the local childcare centre. I'll be working (aka volunteering because I'm not getting paid) with the little 4 and 5 year old Kindergartners.  This upcoming week will be filled with lots of work and a couple classes, so I will likely not write again until next weekend.  I hope you are all doing well - miss you!!!
