Plum Pudding Pigs

Reinforcements brought in....

Digging another swimming pool....

@CathMath27 Just Frankie being Frankie!

@plumpuddingpigs Yikes! But we can’t blame them, can we🤷‍♀️

Frankie did out bound in the field and caught this little fella. Got him off her got her out of the field. Mole gripped ground so strongly but got him out and back to his burrow. That dog is sooooo quick!

@CathMath27 Oh no! Frankie is just terrible at hunting and scavenging the list is long.... pheasant moles mice voles. Brought home fox tail then a dead fox cub and a deer's leg. Glad I saved one mole even if they do dig up garden!

@plumpuddingpigs Puppy Archie once caught a baby bunny😳

He was frantically digging to get away

And he's up for his tea! Whew!

Alfie my very senior boar. He's nine but getting deaf and a bit stiff. Still spring piglets. But didn't get up for his food last night. Gave some pain relief and he passed the apple test.this morning breakfast in bed..

Sunrise on Mendip

@celebrant_emma @theemmabritton @NationalSAIF Well done and well deserved. You were so lovely and supportive at Andrew's funeral. Made all the difference for me. Xx

Some good news... 🤍 I'm pleased to say that I have been accepted as an associate member of @NationalSAIF. I believe I am the first celebrant in Somerset & possibly beyond to become a stand-alone associate member (outside of umbrella organisations). #EmmaTheCelebrant

Breakfast - the milk bar is open!

Supper time

Outside with Coco .all had sun screen on ears but now mudfy

Hay all collected and my little plodding path remains.....

The hay smells wonderful...

My plodding path. Feel the loss of Andrew all the more keenly as the seasons change.

@CathMath27 Yes that's Coco

@plumpuddingpigs Is that the same mom that we watched earlier???

24 hours old..lunch time

@CathMath27 Yes thats Coco

@FudgeyDisco Oh yes he's absolutely fine

@plumpuddingpigs He’s doing ok now?

Coco struggled a bit in the heat yesterday and took a time to pop out the piglets. Had to go in and assist this one out . He was a fatty came out bottom first.

@CookO2 Mmmm not everyone is a good mama but not through breeding. Had one who ripped the metal creep off the wall and hated her piglets. Motherhood was not for her. Her sister was a sweetheart

@plumpuddingpigs Great. I remember when I was a kid one sow in particular thought of her babies as cushions. In northern Netherlands. She made good wurst. Just after the war so I couldn’t tell you the breed.

There is always one..........
