Hi Richard, Marmalade and Demelza it was great to hear from you. I'm sorry you don't get out much Marmalade, but sometimes I think there are certain people who should never be let out!
Take our most recent visitors, Emma's cousins. These little people had sadly never seen a real pig before so were very excited about coming to see us. But would you believe it the thing that they liked best was not our big ears, or curly tails, or even our beautiful faces - It was our Wallow! They could not keep their hands iut of it (encouraged I might add by Emma's big sister Claire!)
They decorated each others faces with our squelchy mud, wiped their hands on their spotless clothes and even decorated the Little Scraps ark with muddy hand prints!
Little people are very different from big people it seems. Their parents were not at all delighted with the wallow. In fact their faces changed from expressions of polite interest to those of abject horror as the day went on!

Hello Acorn, Berry and the four little scraps. Great blog - it's nice to see down-to-earth pigs who can handle the rollercoaster of fame and fortune and still keep their trotters firmly on the ground (or in the wallow, at least). And you seem to be doing a great job of controlling Emma and her herd - they can be an unruly bunch, by all accounts!
Hello. What enchanting pigs they are! I wish we had some like this on our farm but all we have are beef cattle, which are a little dim by comparison, I expect. All good wishes from Patrick Gale (friend of your Uncle Steve's)
acorn, i would like to point out, that both you and berry like the mud, as is evident by your wallow, so i dont think its entirely my fault that my cousins liked it too!!! anyway what harm can a little mud do?
