So I think this is the longest I've gone without posting on the blog in the 14 years it's been running! Life has just been so busy. We sat down and worked out that last night was the first night in 3 weeks where we all sat and ate as a family, without someone being somewhere else, or all of us being somewhere else!
Hopefully the summer holidays will be a chance for us to reset a little bit and enjoy being at home.
Of course that doesn't mean we're planning on taking things easy - to make things a little harder for ourselves we got some pigs! These are the first four legged animals (other than the cat) since the sheep. So a few years ago now.
They were bred at one of the local private schools, I'm friends with the head there. They were born about 8 - 9 weeks ago and are already friendly.
The breed is Oxford Sandy and Black, they are pure bred, but aren't breed standard in their colouring, so won't ever be good for breeding. Instead they will come here for a few months before their final destination.
I'm already in love with them and find myself wondering over to the pig pen to see what they're doing - which is generally sleeping to be honest!
Should be a fun little adventure.
