WIWT: New Zealand City Mouse, Country House

Last weekend, for the holiday weekend (Queen's birthday), we visited my mother & father-in-law! They live in the New Zealand country side about 2 hours away from the city. If you're a fan of Lord Of The Rings, this little town that we're in is actually where the Hobbiton scenes were filmed. :)

"New Zealand like Lord of the Rings" Well in this case, yes! There's even a big sign that says, "Welcome to Hobbiton." This town is busy once again, stay tuned for more Tolkien Hollywood remakes.






I wanted to wear something kind of "country." I like to think of this dress as my Amelie dress, which isn't that country! But I changed it up with my boots, that I typically would not wear with this dress.

There are horses across the road, perhaps next time, we can get a closer look!
My father-in-law was once a famous jockey in the 1960s! Correction: He was once in the Guinness World of Records for horse racing.
