Super Cool Pigs

Lovely Hubby just couldn't resist buying these two pairs of joke sunglasses for £1 at Poundland.

Nope they were never destined for us they were for ...

... the pigs that sit on our gateposts.

Super cool ... but not quite so cool when I had to run up the road to retrieve them after leaving them on the pigs overnight in high winds ... whoops ;-)

Actually I think that the pair of you might look rather fetching in them.

I love this.
Around Christmas there is a statue of Father Kino and his horse that by magic get a Christmas hats on it. This has been going on for over 20 plus years.
And the Saguaro's all around town get red Christmas hats too.
Magic

cheers, parsnip and thehamish

Those pigs look super cool, however running up the road to retrieve them every time you have a wind could be wearing. What about sewing up some elastic (kind of like the eyeglass chains) to hold them on their heads???

God bless.

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
