We all secretly want to be Hobbits

October 10th, 2007

Speak for yourself you might say! The camper amongst us might want to be elves, a few of us – on an off day – might feel like being an orc, and no-one wants hairy feet, but what I mean is that the Shire represents an idyllic pastoral setting which a lot of us would like to live in. Snuggled close to the earth, surrounded by trees and greenery and yet also in a village setting so that we can share our lives with others.

That’s why the Lammas Project is so appealing – it’s a projected eco-village in Pembrokeshire that will look rather like Hobbiton. They’ve got a  good website with a great deal of detail in it – including downloadable pdfs of their plans and so on. If you root around you’ll find you can watch movies about it too. Yesterday they found out that their planning application had been refused, despite all the work they’d done. But they’re applying again. May their dream be realised! Have a look at the dream here!
