Piggy would a-wandering go

So, there we were on Wednesday afternoon - totally oblivious to Ginger's imminent delivery - delivering two of Precious's brothers to their new home. Elshom Hall, located in the north of Lincolnshire near Scunthorpe, is one of England's stately country piles which is 'open to the Public' for the summer months. Amongst its many attractions are the landscaped parkland, beautiful gardens (including a restored and artistically laid out walled one), well stocked lakes and numerous natural sculptures. Also there are animals to entertain, mostly, the children - guinea pigs, lion-headed rabbits, peacocks, guinea fowl, sheep... to name but a few. And now they also have two curly coated pigs.....

There was a fine welcoming party when we arrived - little piggies were just a tiny bit overwhelmed ; didn't want to leave the comfort of their limousine (which it had taken us just a bit of time (!) to convince them was worth stepping into in the first place). However, their new 'Boss' - Gervase - proved more than capable of persuading them to take the long trip down the ramp into their new surroundings --- which were then subjected to much scrutiny... but seemed to pass muster! We left them rootling around whilst being much admired by their new family..... They will love the adoration of the visiting public and the public will, we are sure, love them......
