It would likely be medieval in lifestyle and then I have to remember a phrase from a indebt book dealing with the Middle Ages in my family's very own book-collection.

'Life was short,hard and brutal'

No ME for me,thank you!

yes it was...I do however wonder would it bew that bad... Yes going from our time to theirs would be horrible but had we lived there with no knowledge of this time would we think it was that way...especially with hobbits...or elves?

Without the benefit of modern medicine I would have been dead at 3 weeks old so no ME for me either - though like Eomer I would like to see the architecture .... Rivendell and Dol Amroth......

There are plenty of open spaces in our own world and lovely too .... if you are prepared to walk to them.... I mean other than some of the flora and fauna .... I can't think of anything geographical that we don't have .....

Most hobbits seem to have been living more or less hand to mouth ... most of the societies in ME seem to have been at best benevolently feudal ..... and so male dominated.........
