having just played host to harry potter and his film crew, we now have the invasion of robin hood. 600 extras (my husband julian and a few of his friends included) and one hundred horses. its very exciting and we can see a lot of it from our window. we are amazed at the size of the operation. there are seven huge tents, at lease a dozen fancy trailers, stables for the horses and now they are building little huts along the dunes. so i’ve been down to report….

this is one of twelve horse stables

i think these tents are for the actors to dress and eat.
they have put seven tents like this up all over the valley.
the posh trailers for the actors are in the field behind.

this last hut has been there for years. its a copy of an old seaweed drying hut.

so thats the story so far….
