Pigs, pigs, pigs.........

This is a photo that should have been on yesterdays post.

I have SO many lovely piggy photos and I have a problem with Blogger, it will not let me drag the pictures between the paragraphs.

Anyone know the solution?

But in the meantime a picture of Lovely Hubby taking the measurements of the boar, following Carron's instructions to the letter ... how did she keep a straight face for so long?

I have had the occasional problem with posting photos .... if I save what I've done and come back to it later, I ususally have success. Love these photos you did manage to post!

Hi Sue, the pig keeping day sounded like great fun. Aren't pigs just adorable? We've decided to go for a pair of Tamworth/Old Black cross weaners to start us off. We intend to send them for slaughter but we'll see! They come in six weeks can't wait.

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.

Sue xx

I use it to chart the day by day, week by week, year by year goings on in mine and Lovely Hubby's life. In it I also express my views and opinions, and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. I am hoping that this will prove to be a useful reminder for myself of how we did things, as we continue in our learning process.

If you chose to follow my practices it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.
