Welcome to Middle Earth

"There is no creature whose inward being is so strong that it is not greatly determined by what lies outside it." This quote from George Eliot's Middlemarch concludes the fascinating novel of a town in the middle of Britain in the middle of history. 

This blog deals with all sorts of things concerning life in the middle; the middle of life in the middle of Lapland surrounded by children, books and wildlife. And how to live a life as true as that of Dorothea Brooke's, the heroine of Middlemarch.
