Check out this link for an ITALIAN ARTICLE gone live today.(It even has some pics).
http://www.jrrtolkien.it/
If anybody out there speak Italian, I would dearly love a translation.
I ran that page through a Online Translater and he is the result. Not every word is correct but I left it as it was, quite amusing the translation.
A new botanical garden has been as soon as inaugurated in the Caithness, the county more to north of the Scotland. Little far away from capoluogo the Wick, the situated one has one particularitity: “Rivendell” is called. The name naturally is drawn from the name of the “Last invented Pleasant House” in the Earth-of-average one from J.R.R. Tolkien. It is Great Ravine, the dwelling of Elrond, where the Elfi still succeeds in living in equilibrium with the nature. And just this is the scope of Glyn and Benjamin Salisbury, father and son who are themselves embark to you in the enterprise of riqualificare the situated one in ruin of station Lochshell the benzine. To the inauguration of the new garden, saturday 14 you open them, has participated also to Lord John Thurso, elect parliamentarian in the local district of Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross and third party visconte of capoluogo the Thurso.
Glyn Salisbury (to the center in the photography up) is one writer who lives from years in the Scottish county with the moglie, On, the two daughters Jenny and Elizabeth, and the son Benjamin. It has always had an interest for the nature and the choice to move itself to Wick has been dictated just from a more constant contact with an industrialized landscape less. the beautifulst northern coast of the county of Caithness is the background on which it has acclimatized “Oscar”, novel thriller in which the sconsiderato exploitation of the nature history is to the center of that it leave from the macabra discovered of one carcass of a cetaceo on the rivers of Duncansby Head. Salisbury has in program to write one trilogy based on the Caithness.
The plan of the botanical garden is a dowel in order to bring back the which had natural equilibrium in a situated one from the man. “We have chosen this name”, reveals Glyn to the ArsT, “because naturally we love the Getlteman of Rings of J.R.R. Tolkien. Rivendell is a beauty place and this is our program. The house where we live we have called it Bag End, like the house of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. We have not been able to resist to put one green round door of the diameter of 6 meters, with a lot of yellow handles!”. The place completely is transformed: where before there was a benzine pump in disuse and an illicit rubbish dump hour is a garden, one cafeteria, a store for the sale of the agricultural products and the local handicraft. Glyn and Benjamin have untiringly worked with an investment much meager one, but they are resolutions in the attempt to realize the center. But the two see it like a stage of a wider plan. Rivedell will have to become, slowly, true and just a botanical garden, with exotic exemplary typical plants of the Highland and also. This because, as Tolkien writes: “Every tree has its enemy, little has a lawyer”. Between some day it will be also active situated web of the botanical garden of Rivendell (the link will be active within this week).
Very, very amusing these online translators, if you can make much sense of it.
