Pig goes AWOL





Just when you think all the animals are behaving themselves, (apart from Franklin who's gone back to his old ways of stealing potatoes and carrots from the basket) and you start the afternoon routine of feeding you find your a pig down. One of master C's female pot bellied pigs who has been known to go walk about up to the other pigs when she comes into season.

This time she took herself a little further away to the end of the road. Our nearest neighbours were driving to pick up their kids when they saw her at the bins, turning around to let us know (and giving us a lift in their very clean car, us in muddy overalls and wellies)we found her in the garden of the holiday home up the road. Slow progress of pig walking for she has little legs she is now shut up in the barn with the other two.

Luckily no one passed as we walked you know those bonkers English couple not content with walking dogs they will be walking chickens next.........

Weeding

Potatoes A sad looking patch Hunting for carrots The weather has now gone from one extreme to the other from rain, rain and a bit more rain to hot, sunny and hotter. Time to access the veggie patch after I planted everything in one hit and then it got very damp and soggy. Well the potatoes are growing well, although they are going to be a lot later this year, kind of Earlie's for late ones and late ones maybe ready for Christmas dinner ( if they survive the bugs, rabbits and moles). The weeds have and still are growing really well, this morning was spent finding the carrots and parsnips, which I have with no help from Sorrel, who after a quick sniff lazed under the shade of the apple tree (which by the looks of it hasn't got hardly any apples on it?) The poor herb seeds sowed don't look to good or the french and runner beans, think a hungry mouse have nibbled on them so I will have to resow (once I have weeded -again)

A problematic Ewe

While Master C and Miss F were here over the weekend we took the opportunity for their help in moving the two ewes, Gorgon and Thumberlina to the field where the donkeys had been. What with all the rain we have had lately the grass grow super quick. The only problem was Miss Fatty did not want to move from her safe field (if only she knew she was moving to new lush grass). It took farmer J and Master C to try moving her after pushing from me and Master C had failed and she fell to the floor not moving an inch. There try also failed so they were both lead through the field in another direction. Of course once in the new field there was no looking back. Gorgon on the other hand was a breeze to move, as long as you have food he will follow, you just need to make sure you have enough food!
