Very happy with our new laundry room! Previously an unused stable and then a dumping ground the space has been transformed into a lovely, bright and incredibly useful room! No more ceiling-high piles of bedding and towels waiting to be washed in our kitchen! Having this centralised, along with all of the consumables for the barns has made the daily changeovers a lot more efficient!

Can you name the mountain range that is believed to have inspired J. R. R. Tolkien's imagination of Mordor? The mountain pictured is part of it.

Tolkien loved the Welsh language and it inspired many of his place names and characters in Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

He is believed to have stayed in the village of Talybont-on-Usk in the 1940s, while working on parts of The Lord of The Rings, and is thought to have named the fictional Hobbit village of Crickhollow after nearby Crickhowell.
